The Chief Executive, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, met with the Secretary of Hunan Provincial CPC Committee, Mr Zhang Chunxian, and the Governor of Hunan Province, Mr Zhou Qing, when they both agreed to step up collaborative relationship between the two places. Mr Ho met the Hunan leaders after he had been received by the vice chairman of the CPPCC Hunan, Mr Yang Baohua, upon his arrival at the provincial capital of Changsha in the afternoon. “The chief aim of this visit is to further link up Macao and Hunan in trading, tourism and cultural cooperation,” said Mr Ho during the meeting. “Macao’s entrepreneurs should fully make use of the opportunities that come along with the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) and the Pan-Pearl River Delta (PPRD) Regional Cooperation and Development Forum, and to seek business opportunities outside Macao. “Meanwhile, Macao, which acts as business platform, is willing to provide favourable services and to assist Hunan and the rest ‘9+2’ brotherhood-like provinces and regions to open up markets in the Portuguese-speaking countries,“ said Mr Ho. Mr Zhang accepted Macao’s role as business platform, and said that tourism and cultural cooperation could be a starting point to strengthen collaborative relationship between the two areas. The Macao delegation attended a welcome banquet hosted by the Hunan government before the opening ceremony of the 4th PPRD Regional Cooperation and Development Forum, and a cultural performance show.
