Speaking at a meeting attended by national political advisers from the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, Ding stressed support for completing the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law of Hong Kong and efforts to refine Macao's system for safeguarding national security, to ensure the steady and long-term practice of "one country, two systems".
