阿根廷共和國駐港澳領事獻辭

阿根廷共和國駐港澳領事獻辭
Message from Consul General of Argentina in Hong Kong

阿根廷於五月二十五日將會進入二百零一歲，本人誠邀全體阿根廷居民與我們一道慶祝這歡樂節日。

自二零零三年，阿根廷取得了令人深刻印象的增長率和貿易順差以來，在一個具全面民主政治制度框架下，使增撥預算投放於改善公共教育和衛生得到落實，因而使社會更開放和美好，這是在具高度多元文化的會議而得出的成果。在香港，來自世界各地的移民共融共存，這亦是與我國的歷史相同，而我們將會繼續保持。

阿根廷的牛肉、酒類以及足球、馬球和探戈是馳名的，但阿根廷人民最為珍惜的是友誼。為此，本人高興地與香港特別行政區和澳門特別行政區的朋友們共享這節日的歡樂！

On May 25th, Argentina is turning 201 years old, and I would like to invite all the Argentine residents to join us in this joyful celebration.

Since 2003 Argentina’s impressive growth rate and positive balance trade, within the framework of a fully democratic political system, made it possible to increase budgetary allocations to improve public education and health for the betterment of a wide open society, result of the meeting of highly diverse cultures. As in Hong Kong, the coexistence and integration of immigrants from all over the world has been a particular feature of our history which we continue to embrace.

Argentina is well known from its beef, wine as well as for football, polo and tango. But friendship is what Argentine people treasure most, and in this regard I am very happy to share this very special day with all our friends of Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions.
