彭定康男爵將以贊助人身份加盟香港監察
Lord Patten of Barnes has joined Hong Kong Watch as a patron.
末代港督彭定康是第28任香港總督，任期由1992至1997年。上任前兩年，即1990至1992年，他出任保守黨黨魁。卸任後，他於2000至2004年出任歐盟外交事務專員，2003年起任牛津大學校監，並在2005年獲封終身貴族。
Lord Patten of Barnes served as the 28th and last Governor of Hong Kong from 1992 to 1997 and Chairman of the Conservative Party from 1990 to 1992. He was European Commissioner for External Relations from 2000-2004, made a life peer in 2005 and has been Chancellor of the University of Oxford since 2003.
香港監察是一國際組織，足跡遍布全球。早在2017年12月，本組織已與彭定康男爵緊密合作。
Hong Kong Watch is an international organisation with a global presence. Lord Chris Patten has been working closely with Hong Kong Watch since it was founded in Dec 2017.
彭定康表示：「香港監察贊助人這身份使我倍感榮幸。這組織雖小，影響力卻舉足輕重。此組織緣起於國際社會對香港命運的擔憂：遠在北京的中國共產政權，正準備將東方之珠殺雞取卵。」Patten said: “I am privileged to be a patron of Hong Kong Watch. Not a huge organisation, but it is an organisation which is terribly important and has had a very big impact. It was set up because of worries, right around the world, about how the Chinese Communist regime in Beijing is trying to squeeze the life out of a great Asian city.“
他接着說：「香港監察致力確保全球會有越來越多追求自由普世價值的人。不限於英國，而是全球。」
He continued: ”Hong Kong Watch has ensured that the cause of freedom has more and more adherents around the world. It does not just collect followers in Britain, but right around the world.”
香港監察信託人主席羅傑斯說過：「我們為彭定康男爵加盟香港監察而感到雀躍。身為末代港督，他廣受香港人愛戴。他捍衞香港自治、自由及法治，以及推動英國及國際社會實踐對香港之承諾，種種義舉使他受普世敬重。他的政治生涯光芒萬丈，有豐富的經驗及深遠的智慧。過去三年我們緊密合作，今日正式成為香港監察一員，我們期待彼此繼續為香港人奮鬥。
Benedict Rogers, the Chair of Trustees at Hong Kong Watch said: “We are absolutely delighted that Lord Patten of Barnes has agreed to join Hong Kong Watch as a Patron. As the Last Governor of Hong Kong, he is much loved by Hong Kongers and deeply respected around the world for his defence of Hong Kong’s freedoms, the rule of law and autonomy, and his efforts to urge Britain and the international community to live up to the promises made to Hong Kong. With his extremely distinguished political career he brings a wealth of experience and wisdom. Having worked so closely together over the past three years it is a great privilege that he has accepted a formal role with Hong Kong Watch, and we look forward to continuing to work together for the people of Hong Kong.”
