There is a growing demand for quality gemstones and diamonds in Mainland China, and there are abundant resources in the Portuguese-speaking Countries. The setup of the Diamond and Gem Exchange in Macao, along with Macao’s role as the Commercial and Trade Co-Operation Service Platform between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries, enable Portuguese-speaking Countries to expand their businesses into Mainland China and serve as a healthy way for the industry to grow well into the future.
