Four specialised groups had been formed to further reinforce science and technology co-operation between Macao and the Mainland. The Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Lao Si Io, said this in Beijing as he discussed concrete collaborative items of science and technology industry with his counterparts in the first meeting of the Mainland and Macao Science and Technology Co-operation Committee. These four specialised groups focus on the relation of technology in Chinese medicinal industry, energy saving and environment industry, electron and information industry, and to make popular the knowledge. “Following the set up of these groups, we believe this will promote bilateral co-operations and as a result, Macao’s science and technology will develop rapidly,” said Mr Lao who is also the Chairman from Macao side of the Committee. He said that the government was highly concerned with Macao’s the science and technology development. After the establishment of the Macao SAR, the government launched several co-operative projects to work with the governmental sector and public organisations to boost the industry. During the meeting, the Committee also agreed on a working plan for the year 2007-2008. Both sides agreed to establish a liaison office and to call one meeting every year.
