Guangxi visit benefits Macao businesses

The Chief Executive, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, said today the visit to Guangxi has opened up more opportunities for Macao business in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Mr Ho said the two governments have decided on the direction for future co-operation and have agreed on a number of initiatives: these include Macao providing training for tourism and service professionals from Guangxi. Mr Ho said Guangxi had huge potential to develop economic links with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). This would benefit both places, for Macao to play its role as a service platform for the Portuguese-speaking countries in Guangxi. Macao and Guangxi could complement one another, as they were both members of the Pan-Pearl River Delta Co-operation, he said. Speaking at the end of a four-days visit with a delegation of 110 businessmen, Mr Ho said the trip gave Macao business a better understanding of investing in Guangxi. The delegation returned to Macao in the evening.
