The Pan Pearl River Delta region should strengthen co-operation and ride out the impacts of the financial crisis, Chief Executive Mr Edmund Ho Hau-wah said today. And with the string of supportive measures offered by the Central Government, the pace of the diversification of Macao’s economy would be faster, he said. Mr Ho is in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region with an official delegation to attend the fifth Pan-Pearl River Delta (PPRD) Regional Co-operation and Development Forum and Economic and Trade Co-operation Fair, being held on June 9-11. He said Macao and Guangxi would tie up co-operation in many areas including in trading, logistic and transportation, which were discussed when Mr Ho met with the Party Secretary of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Mr Guo Shengkun, and the Chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Mr Ma Biao. Mr Ho and the official delegation arrived in Guangxi in the afternoon and were received by the Vice-president of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Mr Chen Wu. During the meeting with the Guangxi officials, Mr Ho said faced with the impacts of the global financial crisis, the Pan Pearl River Delta (PPRD) region should strengthen co-operation. The Macao delegation attended a welcome dinner hosted by the Guangxi Government, and the opening ceremony of the PPRD forum.
