Macau International Airport Corporation Limited held a cocktail party on the 4th to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the operation of Macau International Airport. Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Edmund Ho Hau wah, representative of the Chief Executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region and Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Tam Wai man, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Macau International Airport Corporation Limited, Ma Youheng, Deputy Director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Ma Bing, and nearly 400 people from all walks of life gathered together to witness this historic moment. Ma Youheng reviewed the glorious 30-year history of Macau International Airport in his welcome speech. He said that in the future, Macao International Airport will actively participate in the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the "the Belt and Road" initiative, closely cooperate with the strategic deployment of the SAR government, and work together to build Macao into a top world tourism and leisure center. Tan Weiwen said in his speech that at present, the SAR government is making every effort to promote the construction of the international air transport hub (port) on the west bank of the the Pearl River River. At the same time, the airport reclamation expansion project and the Hengqin front-end cargo station project are progressing steadily, and in combination with the deepening implementation of the Zhuhai Macao airport cooperation project, they will jointly build a new logistics and travel pattern of "seamless connection between Australia and Qinhuangdao". We hope that Macau International Airport will continue to seize the opportunities of civil aviation development, shoulder the mission of connecting the world, and inject new momentum into the moderate and diversified development of Macau's economy. Ma Bing stated that in the past 30 years, with the strong support of the central government, the civil aviation industry in Macau has flourished, becoming a vivid practice of "One Country, Two Systems" in the civil aviation field. The Civil Aviation Administration of China will continue to support the high-quality development of Macau's civil aviation industry, deepen cooperation between the mainland and Macau, and promote the coordinated development of civil aviation in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. We hope that the civil aviation industry in Macau will seize the opportunity, leverage its unique advantages of being backed by the motherland and connected to the world, actively integrate into the overall development of the country, and embark on a new glorious journey. The Macau International Airport is located on Taipa Island in the Macau Special Administrative Region. It is an airport built entirely from land reclamation and was officially opened to traffic at the end of 1995. (New Society)
