Representatives of the Macau SAR Government have visited the neighbouring province of Guangdong to promote the financial services Macau offers Chinese enterprises that do business with the Portuguese-speaking world, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) says.

IPIM issued a written statement saying the officials visited the cities of Guangzhou and Jiangmen last week to raise awareness among businesspeople there of the opportunities for business with the Portuguese-speaking Countries.

The institute says some businesspeople expressed interest in food produced in the Portuguese-speaking world, and some in how to get money from the China and Portuguese-speaking Countries Co-operation and Development Fund.

Macau officials will do more such promotional work in the Guangdong cities of Zhuhai and Zhongshan this month, IPIM says.
