A photo exhibition was held in Jakarta Tuesday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.

 

本周二，雅加达正在举办一场照片展览，纪念香港回归20周年。

 

Organized by Chinese embassy in Indonesia, the exhibition displayed nearly 40 big photos unfolding Hong Kong's great achievements in politics, economy, social affairs and culture in the past 20 years.

 

More than 100 people attended the opening ceremony, including Indonesian officials, experts and journalists.

 

Sun Weide, Charge d'Affaires and Minister Counselor¹ of the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, said that over the past two decades, the successful implementation² of "one country, two systems" and the Basic Law have delivered continuous progress in Hong Kong's democratic politics and helped maintain Hong Kong's stability and prosperity.

 

Sun said Hong Kong has further consolidated³ its status as an international hub for shipping⁴, finance and trade.

 

"I believe today's exhibition will give you a clear impression of the significant development of Hong Kong over the past two decades and its unique charm as the 'Pear Of the Orient'," he added.
