A delegation from the Permanent Secretariat of the Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (Macao), also known as Forum Macao, took part in the “Dynamic Macao Week” in Tianjin, from July 12 to 14. The delegation was led by Deputy Secretary-General of Forum Macao, Mr Rodrigo Brum.


Forum Macao’s participation aimed to support promotional activities launched by the Macao SAR Government. It also aimed to optimise application of the Forum Macao mechanism and Macao’s role as a services platform for trade cooperation, in the context of the relationship between Tianjin, Macao and the Portuguese-speaking Countries.

Displays at the Pavilion included traditional products from Portuguese-speaking Countries, with accompanying written explanations, photographs and videos. The Pavilion also helped to promote the business and investment environments of the eight Portuguese-speaking member countries of Forum Macao, namely: Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor Leste.


The delegation of the Permanent Secretariat of Forum Macao participated in several activities during the trip, including: the opening ceremony of the “Dynamic Macao Week” in Tianjin; the Tianjin-Macao Trade Exchange Session and Presentation of Products from Portuguese-speaking Countries; the Forum on Development of Innovation and Entrepreneurship among Overseas Chinese in Binhai New Area; the Tianjin-Macao Young Entrepreneurs Exchange Session; and the Tianjin-Macao Tourism Exchange Session.


During its stay in Tianjin, the delegation also visited local companies, namely Tianjin Jintak Garments and Tianjin Shanhaiguan Beverage Co Ltd.

These initiatives also aim to expand networks of contacts and strengthen exchanges, promoting further the cooperation between Mainland China, Macao and Portuguese-speaking Countries.
