With the theme of “Hand in Hand with Diplomacy in Our Journey to the 20th Anniversary”, the 11th Hong Kong Cup Diplomatic Knowledge Competition is also one of the events in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the HKSAR establishment.
More than 13,000 students from 96 primary and secondary schools enrolled in this year’s contest which set the highest record since the launch of the contest. The first round competition of the contest was successfully held from 23 February to 10 March 2017. Representatives of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the HKSAR, the Education Bureau of the HKSAR Government and the Better Hong Kong Foundation visited SKH Chu Oi Primary School and Liu Po Shan Memorial College respectively to witness the first round competition. The representatives of the three organizers also asked comments from the students on the contest as well as encouraged the students to understand more about our nation and its foreign policy so as to broaden their horizons. This year, the final for the secondary school category will be conducted in two separate groups, namely Elite Group and Pioneer Group. Also, a Sticker Design Competition will be organized, allowing more students to participate in our contest from different aspects.
