MI75-p4a

The Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) took part in the 2nd China International Import Expo (CIIE), which was held in Shanghai from 5 to 10 November 2019.

Mr Chui Sai On, Chief Executive of the Macao SAR Mr Leong Vai Tac, Secretary for Economy and Finance; and Mr Alexis Tam Chon Weng, Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, attended the opening ceremony.

The delegation promoted Macao’s position as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure, a policy to make the city a draw for visitors from around the world, and the city’s role as a Commercial and Trade Co-operation Service Platform between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries.

The Macao SAR Government set up an exhibition area called the Macao Hub in the China Pavilion of the Country Pavilion for Trade and Investment, to introduce Macao to the audience with videos about the city’s special attractions and experience them in virtual reality.

Led by Mr Leong Vai Tac, Secretary for Economy and Finance of the Macao SAR, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) organised a delegation of hundreds of representatives from local companies to attend the expo from 4 to 7 November in Shanghai. IPIM set the Pavilions at the “Food and Agricultural Product Zone” and the “Services and Trade Zone”. The exhibition was joined by a total of 42 local companies selling Made-in-Macao products and agencies of food and beverage products from Portuguese-speaking Countries, as well as Macao enterprises engaged in accounting and translation services.
