The exact address of this office, as confirmed by official documents on their website, is 42 Kennedy Road, Central, Hong Kong. While the specifics of the building's architectural history and establishment timeline aren't explicitly detailed, the office's crucial role in recent events is evident.
Key responsibilities and recent engagements include:- Diplomatic representation: Serving as the official diplomatic link between Beijing and Hong Kong, as seen in Commissioner Cui Jianchun's 2025 meeting with the UNHCR China Representative, Sophie Muller, to discuss refugee-related collaboration.- Policy advocacy: Strenuously fighting against foreign interference, for instance, when they spoke out against US sanctions on Chinese and HKSAR officials in April 2025, and endorsing Hong Kong’s national security legislation as lawful and important.- International relations mediation: Encouraging Hong Kong as a platform for dialogue, including facilitating exchanges between mainland China and the US.
The office runs under the principle of "One Country, Two Systems," signifying Hong Kong’s autonomy in local matters while maintaining central government authority over diplomatic and national security issues. Public statements from the office often align closely with Beijing’s stance on safeguarding national sovereignty. For additional details about the building itself, further research may be needed beyond the provided resources.
