Secretary in Beijing to boost co-operation

The Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Lau Si Io, left today for Beijing to boost further exchanges and promote co-operation with the Mainland. During Mr Lau visit to the capital, Macao will sign a co-operation agreement with the Ministry of Construction to promote exchanges in training, urban planning and transportation. Mr Lau described co-operation in these areas as promising, as the Mainland possesses enormous advantages in having talented professionals, researchers and advanced technology, and he hoped that promoting bilateral exchanges would continue to facilitate Macao's urban development. Highlights on Mr Lau's agenda also include visits to the Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Beijing Transportation Committee, during which he would brief Mainland officials on the latest progress on Macao's light-rail project and urban planning, and seek opportunities for further collaboration.
