Executive Council spokesman Leong Heng Teng has announced that the government will set up a bureau-level entity tasked with carrying out policy research and coordinating the various tasks by different official entities concerning Macau’s cooperation with the mainland.
The new bureau will be formed and be effective from next month in a merger between the existing Policy Research Office (GEP) and a working team under the Chief Executive Office (GCE) tasked with handling local matters related to the mainland.
Addressing a press conference at Government Headquarters on Friday, Leong said that the council, the government’s top advisory body, has completed its discussion of a draft by-law on the new bureau’s organisational structure and operation.
