15th IIICF to be held in June

The Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) said in a statement yesterday that the 15^th International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum (IIICF) is slated to take place in Macau from June 19 to 21.

The statement noted that the forum, themed “Green Innovative Digital Connectivity”, will also coincide with the 10^th China-CELAC* Infrastructure Cooperation Forum organised by the Ministry of Commerce (MOC).  

Details of the event were introduced by the IIICF Organising Committee at a recent press conference held in Beijing earlier this month.

“Hot topics in the international infrastructure industry” will explored through themed activities such as keynote speeches and project signing ceremonies, aiming to “bring China’s wisdom to global infrastructure co-operation and help China and countries and regions along the Belt and Road make new progress in joint infrastructure construction”, according to the statement. 

The statement added that the forum will also release “The Belt and Road Infrastructure Development Index Report (2024)” and “The Report on Portuguese-speaking Countries’ Infrastructure Development Index (2024)”.

Meanwhile, the 10^th China-CELAC Infrastructure Cooperation Forum will focus on green transformation and digital innovation to “build a platform for co-operation between the governments of China and CELAC countries, financial institutions and enterprises”.

New achievements in international infrastructure cooperation, along with the latest engineering technologies, electromechanical equipment and services that meet the needs of Macau’s market, will also be showcased at this year’s exhibition, the statement said, while over 70 leading engineering-related enterprises and delegations from the mainland will join the event.

*CELAC is the acronym for The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.
