Thanks to President Kelvin Tan and Professor Sonny Lo for being able to accurately communicate the decision-making spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to our audience. I hope that there will be more opportunities for relevant activities to be conducted in English in the future, so that China’s development policies can be communicated with teachers and students without language barriers.”
Mr. Kelvin Tan pointed out during the discourse, “The Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China marks the central government’s continued efforts to balance the public and private sector economies and strengthen support for the latter, and hopes to establish a strong national innovation ecosystem. By empowering local governments, the government seeks to solve economic and social challenges to promote long-term consumption. Further, green transformation is positioned as a key component to achieve China’s national development goals. In the development direction of Macao’s youth and government, Macao is emphasized to strengthen talent cultivation and strengthen the country’s opening up to the outside world. To better play its role, especially as a bridge for countries along the “One Belt and One Road” and to deepen the connection with the Portuguese – Speaking countries through the Macao “platform”. Last but not least use the “Hengqin – Macao”developmental model as an example and integrate it into the overall development of the Greater Bay Area. “
