The Chief Executive Chui Sai On said at the High-level Forum of the 10th Pan-Pearl River Delta Regional Co-operation and Development Forum that the Macau government will consider hosting more workshops for cities in the Pan-Pearl River Delta (PPRD) so that they better understand Macau’s role as the platform for China and the Portuguese-
speaking countries (PLP).
