The vice premier said the Legislative Assembly election fully displayed the "patriots administering Macao" principle and was a successful practice of the "One Country, Two Systems" principle with Macau characteristics.
The core mission of the Guangdong-Macau In-depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin was to promote a moderately diversified economy in Macau. It will create broad space and give strong impetus for Macau's economic and social development, Han said.
He expressed the hope that Macau would make full use of the cooperation zone in Hengqin and enhance cooperation between Guangdong and Macau.
The vice premier also called for unremitting efforts in COVID-19 prevention and control in Macau.
