【今日澳洲9月5日讯】香港特区政府驻悉尼经贸办事处通过今日澳洲App向在澳港人发信，回应近期发生在香港街头的游行示威活动，呼吁大家避免使用暴力来解决目前所遇到的问题，而香港必将再度恢复繁荣与稳定。

全文如下：

亲爱的香港同胞，

尽管近期香港街头发生了一系列游行示威活动，但香港的政治制度、社会基本面以及经济依旧强大。

香港依然是一个安全、开放、热情和国际化的都市，依旧是一个与世界紧密联系且充满活力的经济体。

香港特别行政区政府依旧致力于通过对话解决问题，并且拒绝使用暴力手段。目前，政府已经开始跨部门对话，讨论存在的分歧和问题。

我们真诚地希望通过平静、相互尊重以及有意义的方式讨论问题，并找到解决方案。香港民众有着通过和平理性的方式来表达抗议的传统，现如今，这种传统仍在延续。

我们拒绝使用暴力来解决目前所面临的挑战，而在过去的几十年间，我们一直对香港的法治精神抱有信心。

作为一个自由开放的社会和经济体，香港的持续发展离不开“一国两制”，它是香港走向成功的宪法保障。

你们中的某些人可能已经看到了我们在报纸上刊登的广告，这份广告强调了我们实现和平、合理以及理性解决方案的决心。

香港特首林郑月娥女士于9月4日正式宣布，香港政府将“正式撤回”“逃犯条例修订草案”。

此举是林郑月娥女士宣布的“四项行动”之一，旨在以对话代替对立，促进社会向前发展。

毫无疑问，香港会再度恢复繁荣与稳定，我们香港人一定能做到。

Message to friends of Hong Kong

Dear friends of Hong Kong,

Despite recent disruptions, the fundamentals and institutional underpinning Hong Kong's economy and society are strong. We remain a safe, open, welcoming and cosmopolitan society and an internationally connected, vibrant, and dynamic economy. 

The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region remains committed to resolving issues through dialogue, and rejects the use of violence. The Government has started a cross-sector dialogue to talk through differences and look for common ground with no preconditions in the spirit of healing and reconciliation. It is our sincere wish to discuss issues, problems and solutions in a calm, respectful and meaningful way.  Hong Kong people have a long tradition of peaceful and rational protest, which continues. We reject the use of violence to resolve our current challenges and we place our trust and faith in the rule of law which has served us so well for so many decades.  We are resolutely committed to “One Country, Two Systems” which provides the constitutional guarantee for Hong Kong’s continued development and success as a free and open society and economy. 

Some of you may have read a newspaper advertisement we placed today. The advertisement, which is attached for your reference, stresses our determination to achieve a peaceful, rational and reasonable resolution.   

You may have also learnt that the Chief Executive of the HKSAR, Mrs Carrie Lam, announced on 4 September that the Government will "formally withdraw" the Fugitive Offenders Bill. The decision to withdraw the Bill is one of "four actions" announced by Mrs Lam to foster dialogue that can help society move forward.  More details are available from the press release (https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201909/04/P2019090400704.htm ). Attached below is an infographic about the four actions announced by Mrs Lam yesterday for your ease of reference: 

Hong Kong will no doubt bounce back. 

We always do.
