The 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's Government co-operated with various sectors of the community in launching a wide range of celebratory activities for the participation and enjoyment of the general public throughout the year. These activities provided the participants with a deeper understanding of the nation's developments and achievements in recent years, and further boosted their national awareness.

The Home Affairs Bureau, in conjunction with the Commission on Youth, the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education, major community and district organisations, District Councils, national education bodies, major youth groups as well as other sectors in the territory, staged different celebratory events in various neighbourhoods to cater for the needs and interest of different people throughout the year.
