In a significant development, Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated his support for the \"One Country, Two Systems\" policy on Friday, setting the stage for strengthened relations with the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR). The reaffirmation comes at a pivotal time as the newly inaugurated government of Macao SAR gears up for closer collaboration with international partners.
Alexandre Leitão, the Portuguese consul-general in Macao, shared insights with CGTN reporter Chen Yuan on how this renewed commitment opens doors for deeper cooperation between Portugal and the Macao SAR. Leitão emphasized the potential for joint ventures in various sectors, including tourism, technology, and sustainable development, aligning with the global trends and the region's strategic vision.
\"The 'One Country, Two Systems' framework provides a unique opportunity for Macao SAR and Portugal to collaborate more closely, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange,\" Leitão stated. He highlighted ongoing projects that aim to boost bilateral trade and enhance the digital infrastructure within Macao, catering to the needs of the digitally savvy population.
This development is expected to not only strengthen Macao's role as a global hub but also contribute to the broader economic and social objectives of both regions. As Macao SAR continues to evolve under the \"One Country, Two Systems\" policy, the collaboration with Portugal stands as a testament to the enduring partnerships that shape the global landscape.
