THE civil service is an integral part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) governance system, and civil servants should be proactive in discharging their duties of safeguarding national security. In this regard, the Civil Service College launched the “Holistic View of National Security” seminar series to provide systematic and continuous training for civil servants to recognise the necessity of safeguarding national security in a complex international environment and act in full accord with the HKSAR Government so as to support the work of safeguarding national security.
