Garrison's acts show love for SAR people

The People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison is determined to safeguard China's sovereignty, security and development interests and to ensure Hong Kong's long-term stability and prosperity, said a Defense Ministry spokesman on Thursday.

Senior Colonel Ren Guoqiang said at a news conference in Beijing that the garrison is always ready to follow orders from the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, and is confident it can carry out its missions set by the Basic Law and Garrison Law.

Ren said the Nov 14 remarks made by President Xi Jinping on Hong Kong's recent situation pointed out the direction and path needed to stabilize the special administrative region.
