As part of his visit to mark the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese rule, the president toured the Junior Police Call camp at Pat Heung in Yuen Long
In his first interaction with ordinary Hongkongers since arriving on Thursday, President Xi Jinping visited a training centre for a police youth group on Friday morning.
He arrived at a newly-established training camp for the city’s Junior Police Call shortly after 11am after visiting the PLA’s Hong Kong garrison at Shek Kong Barracks in Yuen Long.
He was briefed by JPC members on the aims of the JPC scheme, its facilities and training efforts.
Xi then watched leadership and physical training sessions and talked with JPC members before posing for a group photo.
He was joined on the visit by Hong Kong’s chief executive Leung Chun-ying, secretary for security Lai Tung-kwok, commissioner of police Lo Wai-chung, permanent secretary for security Joshua Law and John Lee, the undersecretary for security.
The Junior Police Call, set up in 1974, organises physical training, volunteering activities and police station tours for youngsters and its camp in Pat Heung in Yuen Long is an activity centre.
At around 8am, three busloads of children arrived at the camp, where they prepared to perform for Xi.
