国内英语资讯:Premier Li calls for creating better future of Macao

Premier Li Keqiang continued his inspection in Macao on Tuesday, urging Macao to seize development opportunities and improve people's lives for a better future.

Accompanied by Chui Sai On, chief executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region, Li visited Macao Museum, city landmarks, shops, a family and a school on Tuesday afternoon.

While at Macao Museum, Li saw an exhibition on the city's history and diverse cultures. Upon seeing a map about Macao that covered its position as an ancient trade hub between Europe and Asia, and its strong links to the maritime Silk Road, Li urged Macao to seize the opportunity of the Belt and Road Initiative and enhance its unique advantages through further opening up.

The premier went to the Mount Fortress, which overlooks the Macao Peninsula. At the adjacent ruins of St. Paul's, a World Heritage site, he was greeted by locals and tourists, and posed for photos with them.

"The beautiful Macao is where Chinese and Western cultures converge and a landmark for the successful practice of the 'one country, two systems' principle," Li said. "I am confident that Macao will have a bright future thanks to the concerted efforts of all its citizens."

Li visited a family and asked about their extended family, their jobs and the pensions assigned to their older relatives. The premier said he was delighted to see they were happy and encouraged the kids to pursue their dreams.
