On the morning of June 26, 2024, a 19-person delegation from Hong Kong Christian Council (HKCC) visited CCC&TSPM. They were warmly greeted by Rev. Xu Xiaohong, Chairperson of National TSPM, and Rev. Wu Wei, President of CCC. Rev. Dr. Lin Manhong, Vice President and General Secretary of CCC, moderated the meeting. Rev. Geng Weizhong, Residential Vice President of CCC, Ms. Gu Jingqin, Interim Chief of Overseas Relations Department, and other staff participated in the reception.

On behalf of the delegation, Rev. Wong Ga Fai, expressed gratitude for the warm reception and the sharing from CCC&TSPM. He gave a brief introduction to HKCC and mentioned that last year’s seminar on the Chinanization of Christianity was an excellent opportunity for exchange between the churches in the two places. Rev. Wong expected more Chinanization-related activities that they could learn from their mainland counterparts.

Mr. Chen Zetao, Vice Minister of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong SAR, was also present, who emphasized the importance of the reciprocal visit in reflecting the strong wish and good atmosphere for mutual learning. It is hoped to avail of this opportunity to deepen the understanding of the development of the churches in the mainland of China and facilitate the friendly cooperation between the churches in the two places.

After the meeting, the guests visited the Holy Trinity Cathedral and the Grace Telling Bookshop.
