Though Macao is small in size, it boasts unique advantages and abundant development opportunities. The Macao SAR government actively promotes the “1+4” appropriate diversification development strategy, focuses on developing the four major industries: the big health industry, the modern financial industry, the high technology industry, and the exhibitions and conventions, commerce and trade, and culture and sports industries. It also aims to optimise Macao’s industrial structure in conjunction with the Overall Development Plan for the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Co-operation Zone in Hengqin and various national policies benefiting Macao. These efforts have led to increasing mutual co-operation within regions and growing external exchanges. Macao’s role as a “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure” and as a “Commercial and Trade Co-operation Service Platform between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries” is becoming increasingly prominent. Since the introduction of the Belt and Road Initiative, Macao has played a key role in bridging nations, achieving fruitful results that serve the needs of the country and further integrating Macao into the overall national development strategy.
