A series of events will be held next week to mark the 20th founding anniversary of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (PSCs) (Macau), also known as Forum Macao.
The events include a high-level symposium, an exhibition, a trade fair and a culture week for China and the PSCs, the forum’s secretariat said at a press conference at the Forum Macao Complex in Nam Van yesterday.
The symposium, to be held next Friday, will discuss how Macau’s advantages, scientific and technological innovations, and modern finance can effectively help with economic development in China and the PSCs.
The exhibition, which will open next Friday and end on December 20, when Macau will celebrate the 24th anniversary of its return to the motherland, will review the development of the forum during the past two decades, and introduce its contributions to the exchanges and cooperation between China and the PSCs.
The secretariat also said it will set up a pavilion to showcase the unique images of China and PSCs at a local trade fair, the 28th MIF, to be held between next Thursday and Sunday at the Venetian in Cotai.
The 15th culture week between China and PSCs aims to present the cultures of China and PSCs with performances, culinary delights, handicrafts, and workshops, the secretariat added. – Xinhua, MPD
