Urban planning experts from Beijing would provide consultation services and help train Macao professionals. This was confirmed in a memorandum for co-operation signed yesterday by China's Minister of Construction, Mr Wang Guangtao, and Macao's Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Lao Si Io, on behalf of the two governments. Both sides would exchange information and hold meetings regularly. Mr Lao said an expert team from the Ministry had earlier made an on-the-spot investigation in Macao, and offered practical suggestions on urban planning and public transportation strategies. The co-operation memorandum, signed three months after the visit of the experts, highlighted the greatest support from the Central Government, Mr Lao said. Once the contact mechanism has been established, the Ministry of Construction would provide assistance to Macao where necessary; hence, further enhancing bilateral co-operation, Mr Wang said. During his visit in Beijing, Mr Lao and his delegates also saw first hand the workings of the city's subways and public transportation systems, and were briefed on the latest development of transportation strategies in the city. Mr Lau also visited the Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Beijing Transportation Committee, during which he briefed Mainland officials on the progress on Macao's light-rail project and urban planning, and expressed the wish for further collaboration.
