Both sides agreed to further strengthen bilateral relations in various fields. The meeting is a continuation of the talks started in Macau when the Portuguese President visited the city for a day on May 1, a note from the Government Information Bureau stated. During the meeting in the Presidential Residence of the Belem Palace, the Portuguese president said that the relations between Portugal and China as well as between Portugal and Macau are at their best times, noting that China thinks highly of the Macau’s role of bridge between China and Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking countries. Macau “is developing well, especially in the field of economic diversification,” he said, noting that progress has been made in business investments, science and technology, and the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries in Macau has played an important role. He explained that the sustainable development of the Portuguese language in Macau will enhance the connection and cooperation in the fields of culture, society, economy and trade, science and technology and tourism with the Portuguese-speaking countries. The president’s remarks were echoed by Chui, who said that his government will make the Chinese-Portuguese platform better. Chui, who is on his official visit to Portugal starting Sunday, said that thanks to the traditional friendship and historic connections between Macau and Portugal, bilateral cooperation has made rapid progress with joint efforts from both sides. He expressed confidence that there will be great potential for cooperation between the two sides under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Greater Bay Area. Chui reiterated that Macau will continue to protect the Portuguese community and promote the development of the Portuguese culture and the Portuguese language in Macau. Also yesterday, Chui attended the Macau SAR’s reception and a photo exhibition in Lisbon, which is to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Macau SAR.

Chui also said that thanks to the opportunities offered by the central government’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA), Macau and Portugal would have even more cooperation chances in the future, according to a statement by the Macau Government Information Bureau (GCS) yesterday. Chui made the remarks during a meeting with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa at the presidential Belem Palace in Lisbon on Monday afternoon (local time). ‘Two purposes’According to the statement, Chui also said that his current visit to Portugal had “two purposes” – to study new developments in Portugal and to attend the 6th meeting of the Macau-Portugal Joint Commission. Chui and Portuguese Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva will co-chair the meeting in Lisbon, according to previous media reports. Protecting the Macanese According to the statement, Chui promised in his meeting with the Portuguese head of state that the local government will strictly follow the Macau Basic Law by always taking care of, and protecting the Macanese community, and also by supporting the continuation and development of the Portuguese culture in Macau. Customarily, the term “Macanese” refers to Macau’s community of residents of mixed Portuguese and Asian descent, which accounts for about two percent of the local population. There is also a sizeable Macanese Diaspora. According to Article 42 of the Macau Basic Law, “the interests of the residents of Portuguese descent in Macau shall be protected by the Macau Special Administrative Region in accordance with the law, and their customs and cultural traditions shall be respected.”‘Excellent period’Rebelo de Sousa pointed out, according to the statement, that the relationship between China and Portugal, and between Macau and Portugal, is experiencing an “excellent period”, adding that he was glad to see that President Xi Jinping “highly values” Macau’s role in connecting China and the world’s Portuguese-speaking countries (PSCs). Rebelo de Sousa also noted that the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) is enjoying a “great” development state. The Portuguese president also mentioned Macau’s efforts to promote its moderate economic diversification, adding that progress has been made in Macau in business investments, science and technology. According to the statement, Rebelo de Sousa further noted that the Macau-based Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and PSCs plays an important role in connecting China and the PSCs. Portuguese language Rebelo de Sousa also underlined that Macau’s effort to preserve, strengthen and develop the Portuguese culture and language is significant. He underlined that the sustainable development of the Portuguese language in Macau will enhance its links and cooperation in the fields of culture, society, economy, trade, science, technology and tourism with the PSCs.

He said this was not only important for Portugal, but also for other PSCs, the statement said. According to the statement, Chinese Ambassador Cai Run, Secretary for Administration and Justice Sonia Chan Hoi Fan, Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam Chon Weng and other officials attended the closed- door meeting. Chui: Macau & Portugal to grab BRI chances According to another GCS statement, a reception was hosted by the Macau government in Lisbon on Monday evening (local time). A photo exhibition titled “The Successful Practice of the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ Principle in Macau” was held in conjunction with the reception to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the MSAR. Chui said in a speech at the reception that the local government had always highly valued close cooperation between Macau and Portugal, adding that the two places should grab the BRI opportunities for their development and have confidence in achieving “win-win cooperation” between the two places, the statement said. Chui pointed out that China and Portugal are “good friends and good partners”, adding that the two nations are deepening their “comprehensive strategic cooperation partnership”. He also noted that the BRI project initiated by China has widely been recognised by the international community, and is also supported by Portugal, the statement said. Chui further pointed out that Macau has been benefitting from the “cooperative environment” between China and Portugal, which has added “new energy” to the relationship between Macau and Portugal, according to the statement. Chui stressed that as a key BRI city, Macau has a good “foundation and potential for cooperation” with Portugal, adding that Macau and Portugal should “jointly grab” the BRI development opportunities, the statement said. Around 230 people attended the reception, including members of Chui’s delegation, senior Portuguese government officials, representatives of Portugal’s parliament, judiciary, Lisbon City Hall, educational institutions, and the media, the statement said. Chui, who left for Portugal last Saturday, is slated to return to Macau this Sunday. He was scheduled to meet with Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa later yesterday. His itinerary also includes a visit to Porto, northern Portugal’s main city. Source: Wisers electronic service. This content, the trademarks and logos belong to Wisers,

  • MACAU's BRIDGING Role BETWEEN CHINA and LATIN
    Sonia Chan Prado*1 UDC 327(510:8) 327(512.318:8) doi:10.5937/MegRev1901193C Expert article Received 9.4.2018. Approved 21.9.2018. Macau’S Bridging ROle between China and Latin America Since the beginning of the 21st century, sustained and rapid growth in relations between China and the Latin American and Caribbean countries has been witnessed. It is widely believed that a stronger tie with a promising future can be envisaged. Historically, Macau has been a Portuguese trading post in the Far East for over 442 years. After the Handover in 1999, Macau was officially returned to China as a Special Administrative Region. At present, Macau is the “world’s top gaming capital” and a part of the Greater Bay Area of national strategic importance in southern China. By capitalizing on her core strengths and special privileges, Macau can go much further, not only as a gaming and tourism city but also an effective and efficient platform between China and Latin America. Furthermore, with the new mega structure, the vast logistic network and the endorsed Greater Bay Area initiative, Macau can serve as an effective soft-power hub of the nation for helping build an extension of the “Belt and Road” to Latin America in the Pacific Rim. Keywords: Macau, Special Administrative Region of China, Greater Bay Area, Belt and Road, China-Latin America Relations 1. Introduction From the historical point of view, we can presume that contacts between Latin America and Asia have always existed, although mostly commercial ones, having in mind that Spanish and Portuguese empires kept expanding their colonial power and administration in the Philippines and the Pacific Rim.

    HIGH REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNION FOR EUROPEAN FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND COMMISSION SECURITY POLICY Brussels, 26.4.2017 JOIN(2017) 15 final JOINT REPORT TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL Macao Special Administrative Region: Annual Report 2016 EN EN JOINT REPORT TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL Macao Special Administrative Region: Annual Report 2016 Summary Since the handover of Macao to the People’s Republic of China in 1999, the European Union (EU) and its Member States have closely followed political and economic developments in the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle. The EU adheres to its ‘One China’ policy and supports the ‘one country, two systems’ principle and its implementation. This annual report on developments in Macao is issued in line with the commitment given to the European Parliament. In 2016, the ‘one country, two systems’ principle continued to work well, to the benefit of the Macao SAR, China as a whole, and the international community. The Chief Executive was elected, unopposed, in 2014. This was the third time in a row that only one candidate stood for election as Chief Executive. Macao’s Basic Law and other legislative acts do not provide for the possibility of universal suffrage. However, the EU encourages the Macao authorities to consider ways to promote greater public involvement in the election of the Chief Executive, thereby enhancing the legitimacy of the position and contributing to good governance. The fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens continued to be respected. Macao’s media continued to express a broad range of views despite some concerns about increasing self- censorship.
