国内英语资讯:China Focus: Premier Li starts Macao visit, vows support for local development

Chui welcomed the premier and thanked the central government for its long-term care, support and help in the region.

The SAR government has strictly implemented "one country, two systems," "Macao people administering Macao," and a high degree of autonomy while working in strict accordance with the Basic Law, he said.

Macao's economy has entered a smooth period and various measures to upgrade the local economy have proved effective, according to the chief executive.

Macao has confidence in making greater progress as a world tourism and leisure center and as a platform for cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, as well as in achieving an appropriately diversified economy with the support of the central government and integration with national development strategies, said Chui.

Accompanied by the chief executive, Li visited the SAR government headquarters on Monday afternoon, where he listened to a work report of the SAR government.

Li said the SAR government should continue to implement the new demands for the region in areas such as economic and social development put forward by President Xi Jinping when he visited Macao two years ago.

Recently, the central government has put forward multiple policies to benefit Macao in line with the new situation and the demands of Macao's development, said Li.

The new policies include supporting the SAR government in hosting an annual global tourism economy forum, creating influential conventions and exhibitions, setting up a renminbi clearing center for Portuguese-speaking countries and establishing the headquarters of the cooperation and development fund between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, according to Li.
