A delegation organised by the Permanent Secretariat of the Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (Forum Macao) will visit Kunming, in Yunnan Province, this month as part of a Macao-wide delegation participating in the ‘Dynamic Macao Week in Kunming’.

Also attending the event will be the participants in the ‘Workshop on Management of Public Administration for Portuguese-speaking Countries’. The Workshop has been organised by the Training Centre of Forum Macao.

The Permanent Secretariat of Forum Macao will also set up a Portuguese-speaking Countries Pavilion at the Exhibition Room No. 6 of the Kunming Convention and Exhibition Centre from June 4 to 6, during the ‘Dynamic Macao Week in Kunming’ event.

The delegation will also take part in a ‘Conference on Business Co-operation between Yunnan, Macao and Portuguese-speaking Countries’. There will also be visits to local companies.

These events promoted by the Permanent Secretariat of Forum Macao aim to support the promotional activities of the Macao SAR Government; to publicise more fully the work being done by Forum Macao; and to highlight the role of Macao as a service platform.

The Pavilion aims to introduce the investment environment and business opportunities of Portuguese-speaking Countries; and to promote regional economic and trade co-operation.

The Pavilion also aims to explain the society and economy of, respectively, seven Portuguese-speaking Countries, namely: Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal and East Timor. The Pavilion will showcase traditional products from each country, with additional explanatory photographs and texts, and via new technologies.

The ‘Conference on Business Co-operation between Yunnan, Macao and Portuguese-speaking Countries’ is jointly organised by the Permanent Secretariat of Forum Macao, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute, the Yunnan Bureau of Commerce and the Yunnan Provincial Investment Promotion and Co-operation Bureau. It will be held from 9.30am on June 6, at the meeting room on the 3rd floor of the Hotel Crowne Plaza Kunming City Centre.
