Speaking at the parade, Mr Chan congratulated all the new cadets on completing their training. He said the Cadet Corps has effectively enhanced the confidence and sense of responsibility of its members through foot drill and team-building training programmes, which are beneficial to their future academic and career development.

He also pointed out that the CAS and the Fire Services Department have all along been working closely in rescue operations during typhoons and floods. Whether in emergency rescue operations or recovery efforts after storms, the two departments collaborated seamlessly, fully demonstrating a people-oriented approach and a professional spirit of shouldering responsibility.

The CAS Cadet Corps has been committed to promoting diverse activities, including environmental initiatives such as coastal clean-ups by kayaking and tree planting, as well as organising various Mainland and overseas exchange programmes. These efforts aim to nurture cadets to become the next generation of patriots with a global perspective. Through these training programmes and activities, the Cadet Corps nurtures its members to become confident, self-disciplined and effective communicators in society.

Mr Chan also reminded participants of the Passing-out Parade that the Legislative Council General Election will be held on December 7. It is of utmost importance for accelerating the development of Hong Kong's economy and improving people's livelihood. Mr Chan called on members of the public to cast their vote on that day.

Recruitment of CAS cadets is open for application throughout the year. Recruitment details and application forms are available on the CAS website (www.cas.gov.hk/eng/org/cadet_corps.html).
