The Chief Executive (CE), Sam Hou Fai, has said that studying, upholding, and implementing the spirit of President Xi Jinping’s speeches during his visit is the foremost task for all sectors in Macau and the administration team.

Sam was speaking during a government symposium Saturday (Dec. 21) about studying, promoting, and implementing President Xi’s speeches.

At the same opportunity, the CE said this is the government’s most important political mission now and in the future.

“President Xi’s insightful and profound remarks during his visit to Macau have set the direction for the future development,” Sam said.

The symposium, held at the China–Portuguese-speaking Countries Commercial and Trade Service Platform Complex, was attended by about 650 participants.

During the symposium, the CE said, regarding Xi’s speeches, the government will seize opportunities, reform with determination, and fulfill its responsibilities to better leverage the institutional advantages of ‘One country, two systems.’

Sam reviewed President Xi’s speeches, noting they were connected to history, the present reality, and the future, scientifically addressing major theoretical and practical issues.

First, to fulfill the mission of safeguarding national security with a stronger sense of responsibility, to be well prepared and equipped for adverse situations, and to make the best effort to safeguard against all kinds of risk, thereby maintaining prosperity and stability.
