Chief Executive (CE) Ho Iat Seng will travel to Beijing to attend the opening of the third session of the 13th National People’s Congress (NPC) to be held on May 22 in the capital.
The CE will be accompanied by his Chief-of-Office, Hoi Lai Fong. Both will be traveling to Beijing from May 20 to 22.
This will be Ho’s first meeting of the NPC since he took office as CE on December 20 last year.
During Ho’s absence, the Secretary for Administration and Justice, André Cheong, will take the role of Acting Chief Executive.
The 13th NPC meeting has been garnering attention because there will be special safety measures put in place due to Covid-19.
As previously declared by local health authorities, the Macau representatives will be subjected to the same safety measures as any other citizen. Dr Alvis Lo reaffirmed during Monday’s daily press conference of the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Center that they will have to undergo nucleic acid tests to ensure they do not have the virus.
