Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman & CEO of Melco, said, “National Education is a core segment of Melco’s Whole Person Development strategy, and the Company’s Splendors of China program was launched in 2016 with the aim to support the Macau SAR government’s furthering of the spirit of ‘Loving the Motherland and Loving Macau’. We are honored to invite esteemed NPC and CPPCC delegates to share the Spirits of the “Two Sessions” with us today – enabling our colleagues to gain a better understanding of the latest government policies and the significance of the practice of ‘One Country, Two Systems’, which will allow us to better understand and seize opportunities to integrate into the country’s overall development and continue contributing to the city’s diversified development and economy.
“Although Macau was seriously impacted by the pandemic last year, the active response from the Macau SAR to control and contain the situation helped to promptly restore order to the city’s economic and daily life. All of this is a testament to the successful practice of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ in Macau and the importance of ‘Loving the Motherland and Loving the Country’ – as well as Macau’s boundless potential for further development.”
