Officials representing the China-Portuguese-speaking Countries Co-operation and Development Fund will explain the workings of the fund at an information session at the World Trade Centre in Macau on January 25.

The Director-General of the fund’s management team, Jin Guangze, will make a brief presentation about its work, including investment criteria and protocols.

The session will also include a presentation about the investment frameworks of the Portuguese-speaking Countries. The event is organised by the Macao Institute for Trade and Investment Promotion and is supported by several government bodies.

The US$1-billion fund was established after the 3rd Ministerial Conference of Forum Macao in June 2013. It supports co-operation between Mainland China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries.

In October, it was announced that the fund’s headquarters would move to Macao.
