Chinese President Xi Jinping will be in Macao from Dec. 18 to 20 to attend a gathering marking the 20th anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland.
Since its return to the motherland in 1999, the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) has scored remarkable development achievements. Sustained economic growth and abundant fiscal revenue have significantly improved people's livelihoods and welfare.

Duarte served as Portuguese Ambassador to Mozambique and diplomatic adviser to the Portuguese President before he went to work in China.
China’s Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) is about to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its return to the motherland, and the region now enjoys a favorable social atmosphere where its senior citizens are well loved, respected and protected, receiving meticulous care from the whole society. Such achievement is made through the cooperation between Macao SAR government and professional non-governmental institutions and the efforts of voluntary workers with various backgrounds and at different ages.
