MACAO, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- An exhibition of high quality consumption opened here in the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) on Friday together with a forum on global bay areas, showcasing a wide range of fine products from hundreds of brands worldwide.
It was the first such event held both in Macao and the Guangdong-Macao in-depth cooperation zone in Hengqin of neighboring Zhuhai city.
Covering an area of 58,000 square meters, the exhibition is coupled with promotional activities and matching sessions aiming to serve as a platform for efficient exchanges between participants of different industries.
Forums covering Macao's major industries of culture, tourism, medicine and modern finance were also held.
Lei Wai Nong, secretary for economy and finance of the Macao SAR government, said at the opening ceremony that the innovative exhibition fully plays the advantages of Macao and Hengqin, combining the vast consumer market in the mainland with Macao's role as a platform linking China and Portuguese-speaking countries (PSCs).
Zhang Xin, vice governor of Guangdong Province, said the event will provide new opportunities for Macao to speed up the building of an international trade center for China and the PSCs as well as for high quality consumption products.
The exhibition will last until Sunday. The forums on different industries were held in Hengqin from Wednesday to Thursday. ■
