The Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its return to China, marking a significant milestone in its journey towards economic diversification and international collaboration. In an insightful interview with CGTN, Jose Maria Pereira Coutinho, a member of the Macao Legislative Assembly, emphasized Macao's pivotal role as a conduit between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.
By leveraging its unique position, Macao SAR facilitates Chinese businesses' access to Portuguese-speaking markets and the European Union, fostering stronger economic ties and opening new avenues for growth. This strategic link not only enhances trade opportunities but also promotes cultural and political exchanges, further integrating Macao into the global economy.
Looking ahead, Macao continues to explore innovative strategies to diversify its economy beyond its traditional strengths in tourism and gaming. With an emphasis on sustainability and technological innovation, the region aims to attract investments and foster partnerships that will drive long-term prosperity and reinforce its status as a key player in international markets.
