Source: Government of India

Posted On: 11 APR 2025 7:19PM by PIB Delhi

The first edition of the biannual Naval Commanders’ Conference 2025 concluded today in New Delhi. The week-long apex-level conference, held from 05 to 11 Apr 25 in two phases at Karwar and New Delhi, engaged the commanders in deliberations on security challenges in the maritime domain and review of Indian Navy’s operational preparedness. The Hon’ble Raksha Mantri, Shri Rajnath Singh, presided over the inaugural session of the conference at Karwar, with the Chief of the Defence Staff, Defence Secretary, senior MoD officials and Naval Commanders in attendance. The Hon’ble Raksha Mantri, while acknowledging the Navy’s centrality in India’s Maritime Security stated that “just like the oceans have no boundaries, there is no limit to Navy’s roles and responsibilities – the Indian Navy will have to assume full responsibility for the entire IOR.”

The first phase of the conference at Karwar also coincided with the flag-off of IOS Sagar by the Hon’ble Raksha Mantri. The landmark voyage of IOS Sagar represents India’s strong commitment to cooperation and collaboration with IOR nations, and aptly reflects the growth of Government of India’s vision of SAGAR to MAHASAGAR (Mutual And Holistic Advancement for Security Across the Regions). While at Karwar, Shri Rajnath Singh also inaugurated nine state-of-the-art marine piers, eight residential buildings and several important utilities, created as part of Project Seabird. The first phase concluded with a review of Indian Navy’s operational readiness and modernisation plans, wherein the Hon’ble Raksha Mantri acknowledged Indian Navy’s crucial role as a principle enabler of peace and security in the Indian Ocean Region.

The second phase, chaired by Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, commenced at Nausena Bhawan in New Delhi on 07 Apr 25. The proceedings featured comprehensive assessment of operational, materiel, logistics, human resources, training and administrative aspects. The Indian Navy’s Space Vision, Indian Naval Air Publication, Indian Navy’s Operational Data Framework, and a compendium for veterans, ‘Navy for Life and Beyond’, were the publications released on the occasion.

The conference facilitated interaction of the Naval Commanders with the Chief of the Defence Staff, Chief of the Army Staff and Chief of Air Staff, who shared their assessment of the operating environment, outlining readiness levels to counter evolving security challenges, through strong convergence and Tri-Service synergy. Additionally, Shri Vikram Misri, Foreign Secretary, and Shri Amitabh Kant, India’s G20 Sherpa, also engaged with the Commanders. Whereas the Foreign Secretary offered insights into the shifting global order and its implications for maritime security in the IOR, Mr Amitabh Kant underscored Navy’s significance in national growth and in India’s emergence as the ‘Preferred Security Partner’ in the region.

On the sidelines of the conference, Naval Commanders also interacted with several subject matter experts and strategic thinkers during the Sagar Manthan event on 07 Apr 25. The event centered around India’s strategic vision of MAHASAGAR and focused on Indian Navy’s key role in fueling national maritime growth.

Overall, deliberations at the first edition of Naval Commanders’ Conference 2025 re-affirmed Indian Navy’s commitment to a safe, secure and rules-based maritime environment amidst emerging geopolitical challenges, while reinforcing its steadfast pursuit of being a Combat Ready, Credible, Cohesive and Future Ready force.

Ruling on technopole welcomed

Source: Hong Kong Information Services

The Government today welcomed the decision handed down by the High Court to dismiss the application to substitute the applicant of the judicial review on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report of San Tin Technopole, and to grant leave to the applicant to withdraw the judicial review case.

The Development Bureau commented that with the judicial review set aside, the uncertainty for the San Tin Technopole development has been removed.

It stressed that the Government will continue to press ahead with this flagship project of the Northern Metropolis, so as to deliver innovation and technology land in full steam, with a view to creating strong impetus for Hong Kong’s economic growth. San Tin Technopole will also become a modern new development area with industrial development, ecological conservation and a livable environment.

Separately, noting that it has been vetting all EIA reports in strict accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance and the ordinance’s Technical Memorandum, the Environmental Protection Department said it will continue to strictly implement the EIA process, ensuring that EIA reports fulfil all statutory standards and requirements before approval is given.

Judge’s resignation regrettable: Govt

Source: Hong Kong Information Services

The Government today expressed regret at the resignation of Justice Robert French as a non-permanent judge of the Court of Final Appeal (CFA) and extended gratitude for his contribution over the years.

The Judiciary announced that Mr French, a non-permanent judge from other common law jurisdictions (CLNPJ) of the CFA, tendered his resignation to the Chief Executive.

The Judiciary said it is grateful to Mr French for his valuable contributions to the work of the CFA and his support for the rule of law in Hong Kong during his tenure.

In his resignation letter to the Chief Executive, Mr French expressed great respect for the judicial officers of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as well as their independence and integrity, adding that he felt honoured to have worked with them.

The Government said the long-time presence of esteemed judges from overseas as non-permanent judges of the CFA, participating in hearings of the court, is conducive to the international legal environment and the development of the jurisprudence of common law in Hong Kong.

Their continued participation alongside permanent judges speaks to the enduring strength and resilience of the court, it added.

Noting the judicial system of the Hong Kong SAR is protected by the Basic Law, the Government said that the city is vested with independent judicial power, including that of final adjudication and that the courts exercise judicial power independently, free from any interference.

It emphasised that the presence or absence of individual judges will not undermine the integrity of the system nor impair the Government’s determination in upholding the rule of law.

Upon Mr French’s departure, there are nine non-permanent judges comprising four non-permanent Hong Kong judges and five CLNPJs from the UK and Australia in the CFA.

The Judiciary stressed that in light of the steady caseload, the operation of the CFA will not be affected by the recent change in membership of the court. It will continue to identify suitable local and overseas candidates for appointment as non-permanent judges.

The Government indicated its full support to the Judiciary in the continuous efforts to appoint and retain foreign non-permanent judges in the future, and will endeavour to capitalise on the Hong Kong SAR’s common law system, upholding the rule of law in Hong Kong.

The Task Force for Collaboration on the Northern Metropolis Development Strategy held its sixth meeting in Hong Kong today.

 

Deputy Financial Secretary Michael Wong and Shenzhen Vice Mayor Tao Yongxin led delegations of the governments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Shenzhen respectively.

 

In the morning, both delegations visited the Hong Kong Park of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science & Technology Innovation Co-operation Zone.

 

In addition to receiving a briefing by representatives of the Civil Engineering & Development Department and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation & Technology Park on the planning, design and construction work of the park, they toured the newly completed talent accommodation building therein.

 

During the afternoon meeting, the Hong Kong SAR Government presented the achievements made in taking forward the development of the Northern Metropolis in the past year, including the development proposals for Ngau Tam Mei, the New Territories North New Town and Ma Tso Lung announced at the end of last year; and an earlier invitation for submissions of expressions of interest on three large-scale land disposal pilot areas.

 

The Hong Kong SAR Government also introduced the Development Outline for the Hetao Hong Kong Park promulgated in November last year, which clearly sets out the park’s major development directions, strategy and targets.

 

Both sides also exchanged views on the planning progress for the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Rail Link (Hung Shui Kiu-Qianhai), the implementation of the Wutong Mountain-Robin’s Nest Ecological Corridor and the planning and development of Hong Kong-Shenzhen control points.

 

Mr Wong said that the large-scale development of the Northern Metropolis brings myriad opportunities for Hong Kong.

 

“We will continue to leverage our unique advantages under the ‘one country two systems’ principle and give full play to our roles as a super-connector and super value-adder. We will work closely with Shenzhen to promote the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and contribute to the high-quality development of our country.”

 

Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn, Secretary for Constitutional & Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang, Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung, Secretary for Transport & Logistics Mable Chan, Under Secretary for Environment & Ecology Diane Wong and Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology & Industry Lillian Cheong also attended today’s meeting.

Streamlining procedures to encourage effective use of public spaces in commercial developments

Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

Streamlining procedures to encourage effective use of public spaces in commercial developments 
The Lands Department will implement several new measures under the pilot scheme, including:
 
(i) Streamlining the application procedure for waivers: The waivers, once approved, will remain valid for one year, thus allowing “one application for multiple uses” within the validity period. This means that within a year, events (regardless of their nature or content) can be hosted in the same location without a need for separate applications for each event.
 
(ii) Adopting a simplified and concessionary fee arrangement: A concessionary fixed fee of about $17,000 will be charged for each application, which includes the administrative fee and waiver fee for the first month.  If the activity is to be held in other months within the year, an additional HK$5,000 will be charged per month. Compared to the current practice where each event requires an individual application and incurs a fee of HK$60,000 or more, the fee has been significantly reduced. The fixed fee also obviates the need for case-by-case fee assessment, offering greater transparency and certainty. Non-commercial activities will continue to be exempt from application fees.
 
(iii) Relaxation of area restriction: The permissible area for the use of “Public Open Spaces in Private Development” for commercial activities has been doubled from the original 10 per cent to 20 per cent of the open space, provided that the activities do not affect pedestrian access or safety. Activities that are organised or co-organised by the Government with commercial elements will be considered as non-commercial activities and will not be subject to this restriction.
 
(iv) Streamlining the consultation process: Through streamlined arrangement, the processing time for application approvals will be reduced from about two to three months in the past to about one month. For activities planned for the upcoming Easter holiday and the Labour Day Golden Week, the Lands Department will expedite processing of applications.
 
A spokesperson from the Development Bureau said, “Through the pilot scheme, we aim to remove barriers and restrictions, enabling various sectors to make full use of indoor and outdoor spaces in shopping malls or other commercial developments to host a wide range of activities. This will enhance visitor experience, attract patronage, boost consumption, and inject more vitality into Hong Kong’s economy.”
 
Details of the scheme have been uploaded to the website of the Lands Department (www.landsd.gov.hk/doc/en/practice-note/info-notes/Information_Note-Streamlining_Arrangements(POSPD).pdfIssued at HKT 18:45
