This year has also seen a representative office open in Wuhan, Hubei province, to join offices in the cities of Hangzhou, Chengdu, Shenyang and Fuzhou, established since 2006, to promote trade between Macao and the mainland.

The Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute is actively playing its role in turning the Special Administrative Region into a convention center for business cooperation, service center for SMEs and goods distribution center for Portuguese-speaking countries, Ung said.
