Macao bridges China, Portuguese-speaking nations

China Daily  

This aerial photo taken on Dec 15 shows the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in South China. When the central government assigned the Macao Special Administrative Region to play the role of a Sino-Lusophone platform following the establishment of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and the Portuguese-Speaking Countries in 2003, it added a whole new dimension to the SAR's contribution to overall national development and the country's foreign relations. This vision is mirrored in the 2019 Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which highlights Macao's "one center-one platform-one base" function within the GBA, with its Lusophone connection being a pivotal asset. More recently, the 6th Ministerial Conference of Forum Macao in April approved the new "Strategic Plan for Economic and Trade Cooperation ", expressing support for Macao's role as a platform within the GBA, with the focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, science and technology, tourism and culture, among other fields. Deeper mutual understanding of different cultures, societies and specific development contexts of the Portuguese-speaking countries and the Greater Bay Area, greater focus on small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups, and working together to address global issues such as combating climate change and realizing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals constitute a cornerstone of a "high-quality cooperation model".
