Carrie Lam presents 4 actions to initiate the dialogue with people of Hong Kong:
- The Hong Kong government will formally withdraw the extradition bill. The Secretary for Security will move a motion according to the Rules of Procedure when the Legislative Council resumes.
- The Hong Kong government will fully support the work of the IPCC (Independent Police Complaint Council). In addition to the overseas expert, Lam has appointed two new members to the IPCC, Mrs. Helen Yu and Senior Counsel Mr. Paul Lam. Hong Kong government will seriously follow up the recommendations of the IPCC’s report.
- From this month, Carrie Lam and her Principal Officials will reach out to the community to start a direct dialogue. People from all walks of life are invited to share their views and their grievances. Discontent of the society must be addressed and solutions need to be found.
- Carrie Lam invites all community leaders, professionals, and academics to independently examine and review society’s deep-seated problems and advise the government on finding solutions.
Carrie Lam further stated, “Our foremost priority now is to end violence, to safeguard the rule of law, and to restore order and safety in society. As such, the Government has to strictly enforce the law against all violent and illegal acts. My team and I hope that the four actions just announced can help our society to move forward. Let’s replace conflicts with conversations and let’s look for solutions.”
