政府稱李家超本人收到美方邀請 重申因日程不出席APEC峰會
The government said yesterday in a response to media enquiries that Chief Executive John Lee would be unable to attend the APEC meeting to be held in the United States mid-month due to “scheduling matters”. However, the response did not mention whether Lee himself had received an invitation, prompting speculation. The government issued another response to media enquiries tonight, confirming that “Chief Executive John Lee himself has received an invitation to attend from the US side”, and reiterating that Financial Secretary Paul Chan would attend on his behalf due to scheduling matters.
政府昨日透過「回應傳媒查詢」方式公布，特首李家超因為「日程事宜」，未能出席月中在美國舉行出席APEC會議。不過整篇回應未有提及李家超本人有無收到邀請函，惹來多方猯測。政府今晚再發稿「回應傳媒查詢」，確認「行政長官李家超本人已收到美方發出的與會邀請」，並重申由於日程事宜而要由財政司司長陳茂波代為出席。

李家超稱因「日程事宜」未能出席APEC峰會 陳茂波代去
Several US media outlets reported that Chief Executive John Lee would almost certainly be unable to attend the APEC summit to be held in San Francisco in November. The question of whether Lee could enter US territory has now been answered. The government issued a statement in the evening “in response to media inquiries”, saying that “Hong Kong, China” had received an invitation from the host, but that the Hong Kong government had replied that, due to Lee’s “schedule issues”, he could not attend the meeting in person as its representative. Financial Secretary Paul Chan will attend in his place. However, the statement did not specify whether Lee was in fact the person invited by the APEC organisers.
多份美國媒體報導，特首李家超將幾乎肯定無法出席11月在美國三藩市舉行的APEC峰會。到底李家超有無辦法突破進入美國領土，終於有答案。政府傍晚發稿指「回應傳媒查詢」，稱「中國香港」收到東道主邀請，不過港府已回覆，因為李家超「日程事宜」，未能親身代表出席會議，將由財政司司長陳茂波代為出席。不過新聞稿未有指明，APEC主辦方邀請的確實對象，是否李家超。

去唔去到APEC峰會？李家超：仍在等待邀請
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit will be held in the United States in November. The Washington Post reported in August that the State Department had decided to deny Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu, who is under US sanctions, entry to the United States to attend the APEC meeting, although the Hong Kong government could send another senior official. Asked about the matter again today, Lee said he was still awaiting an invitation, reiterating that the host had a responsibility to invite the leaders of the organisation’s members to attend.
亞太經濟合作組織今年11月將在美國舉行峰會，《華盛頓郵報》在今年8月報導，國務院決定拒絕正被美國制裁的行政長官李家超入境美國出席APEC會議，不過港府可以另派高級官員出席。李家超今日再被問及事件時，稱仍在等待邀請，重申主辦方有責任邀請組繒成員的領袖出席。

《華盛頓郵報》引消息稱美國將拒李家超出席APEC 李家超冀東道主按慣例及規則邀成員出席
The Washington Post, citing three US officials familiar with the matter, reported that the White House had decided not to allow Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting to be held in San Francisco in November. The Chief Executive’s Office said in response that the US should fulfil its basic responsibilities as host and, in accordance with APEC’s conventions and established practice, invite the Chief Executive to attend the meeting in his capacity as the leader of Hong Kong, China.
美國《華盛頓郵報》引述三名知情的美國官員指，白宮已決定拒讓特首李家超出席11月於美國三藩市舉辦的亞太經合組織會議（APEC）。特首辦回應報道指，美國應切實履行東道主的基本責任，依照APEC的常規及一貫做法，邀請特首以中國香港領導人身分出席會議。

報道指美方拒邀李家超赴APEC 外交部： 強烈不滿
In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said China was strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to the matter, and had lodged serious representations. Mao said the host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum had the responsibility and obligation to ensure that representatives of all members could attend smoothly. She said the US had imposed illegal and unreasonable sanctions on Chinese personnel, including John Lee, in a bullying act that seriously violated the basic norms of international relations. She also said the US refusal to invite the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to attend the meeting in the US compounded the error, violated the meeting rules and seriously breached the US commitment to host the event.
在北京，外交部發言人毛寧回應說，中方對此強烈不滿和堅決反對，已提出嚴正交涉。
毛寧說，亞太區經濟合作組織的東道國有讓所有成員代表順利參會的責任和義務，美方對包括李家超在內的中方人員，實施非法無理制裁，是嚴重違反國際關係基本準則的霸凌行徑，又指，美方拒絕邀請香港特區行政長官赴美參與會議是錯上加錯，違反會議規則，嚴重違背美方的辦會承諾。
