Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam Chon Weng believes that the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA) is providing “a more concrete foundation and a wider platform” for cooperation between Macau and Jiangmen, according to a statement by the Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture (GSASC) yesterday.
According to the statement, Tam expressed the view during a meeting with Liu Yi, the mayor and deputy secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) committee of Jiangmen.
A spokesperson for Tam’s secretariat told The Macau Post Daily last night that the meeting took place at Macau Tower on Tuesday. The spokesperson said that apart from the bilateral government meeting, the Jiangmen delegation also attended the swearing-in ceremony of the new board members of the Macau-Jiangmen Communal Society. Thousands of Macau residents originate from Jiangmen, a prefecture-level city located some 63 kilometres north-west of Macau.
