The Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (Macao) is "an efficient cooperation mechanism and a good service platform that has played a relevant role in strengthening economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchange" between the member states, Ho Iat Seng stressed.

In a speech delivered at the welcome dinner for the delegations participating in the sixth ministerial conference of the Forum, the local chief executive highlighted that this conference is a "starting point to further strengthen the functions of the Sino-Lusophone platform, to participate and actively contribute to the implementation of the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative and to promote the high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area".

For Ho Iat Seng, the Macao Forum has achieved "encouraging results" since it was created in 2003, having strengthened and deepened cooperation in various sectors.

"At the current time when the world economy is facing profound changes, solidarity, mutually advantageous cooperation and a joint response to challenges are even more important", he said.

For his part, the Chinese Minister of Commerce, Wang Wentao, highlighted on the same occasion that China wants to work with the member countries "to raise the level of Sino-Lusophone economic and trade cooperation to a new level".

On Saturday, Ho Iat Seng received the Minister of Economy, Pedro Reis, in a meeting in which they discussed the promotion of bilateral cooperation in the areas of economy and trade, the attraction of more Portuguese companies and executives to establish themselves in Macao, among others, according to a statement.

The Macao Forum includes China and nine Portuguese-speaking countries: Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor-Leste.
