Reaching out to University Students – Privacy Commissioner Delivers Keynote Address at the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law’s 211th Congregation
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, attended the 211th Congregation of the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong on 1 December 2023 and delivered a keynote address as the Guest of Honour.
The Privacy Commissioner extended her warmest congratulations to all graduates and shared with them the highlights of her legal career in public service which spanned over the past four decades.
She cited President Xi's speech during the 25th anniversary celebration of Hong Kong's return to the motherland last year and encouraged the graduates to strive to ensure the continuous, robust and smooth implementation of the guiding principle of "one country, two systems" and to safeguard the legal regime. She highlighted that the first and foremost duty of lawyers is to uphold and promote the rule of law, especially at a time when the rule of law in Hong Kong has come under unwanted attacks by certain overseas politicians and media outlets for political reasons.
She encouraged all new members of the legal profession to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, humility and ethics in their future career, and emphasised the importance of serving with profound dedication and heart in their legal work.
