Det er i fredens og menneskerettighedernes tegn, at vi oprigtigt overdrager administrationen af Macao til Kina, så det er Kinas opgave, i håb om, at Kina vil overholde de aftaler, som er nedfældet i den portugisisk-kinesiske aftale.
It is in the spirit of peace and respect for human rights that we shall be sincere in handing over the administration of Macao to China, as it now falls within China' s competence, in the hope that China will respect the commitments that were signed jointly in the Sino-Portuguese Declaration.
