HONG KONG, April 24 -- The Hong Kong youth military march review and annual award ceremony was held in Hong Kong on April 23, with Miss Alice Mak, Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, serving as the inspecting officer.
香港，4月24日电 -- 香港青少年军汇操检阅仪式暨年度奖项颁奖典礼23日在香港举行，香港特区政府民政及青年事务局(民青局)局长麦美娟担任检阅官。
Approximately 300 members of the Hong Kong Army Cadets Association attended the review ceremony, which was conducted in traditional Chinese-style goose-stepping . Following the review, various annual awards were presented to recognize the contributions and efforts of the Association members, including the Long-term Service Medal, Outstanding Member Award, and Outstanding Service Award.
检阅仪式约有300名香港青少年军总会团员参加，全程采用中式步操。之后，典礼上颁发了各个年度奖项以表扬团员为总会所付出的努力及贡献，包括长期服务奖章、优秀团员奖和杰出服务奖等。
Miss Mak said that the Chinese-style goose-stepping training would help strengthen teenagers’ national identity and sense of belonging to the country. She hoped that they would continue to train with the spirit of self-discipline, self-examination, solidarity and hard work. The Bureau would continue to promote exchange and collaboration among different uniformed youth groups and strengthen national education within these groups.
麦美娟表示，中式队列训练有助加强青少年的国民身份认同及对国家的归属感，期望他们秉承自律自省和团结刻苦的精神继续努力训练。民青局将继续促进不同青少年制服团队间的交流及协作，不断加强青少年制服团体的国民教育工作。
The Hong Kong Army Cadets Association is the only voluntary uniformed group in Hong Kong that is trained with Chinese-style goose-stepping. The Association was officially established at the Ngong Shuen Chau Barracks of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison on January 18, 2015.
香港青少年军总会是香港唯一以中式军事步操为训练基础的自愿性制服团体，2015年1月18日在解放军驻港部队昂船洲军营正式成立。
