CE meets Sichuan party leader and governor

Western China could provide ample business opportunities for Macao entrepreneurs, the Chief Executive, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, said in the Sichuan capital city of Chengdu today. Mr Ho, in the southwestern province for the opening of the 8th Western China International Economy and Trade Fair, said this at the meeting with the Secretary of CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee, Mr Du Qinglin, and the Governor, Mr Jiang Jufeng. Mr Ho said the close and long-term relationship enjoyed by Macao and Sichuan facilitated exchanges between businessmen from the two places. He said he believed that Sichuan companies could maximise Macao as a platform to explore opportunities in the Portuguese-speaking countries. Likewise, Sichuan and western China could also provide ample opportunities for Macao business people.
