Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the
People’s Republic of China to the Kingdom of Cambodia
H. E. WANG Wentian
Today, we present to our Cambodian friends a photo
exhibition celebrating the 20th anniversary of Macao’s return to
China motherland. Taking this opportunity, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in
Cambodia, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Cambodian friends
who have cared for and supported the development of the Macao Special
Administrative Region of China, and extend warm congratulations to the 20th
anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland!
On 20 December 1999, the Chinese government resumed
its exercise of sovereignty over Macao and established the Macao Special
Administrative Region (MSAR). Macao entered a new era characterized by “one country, two systems”,
“Macao people governing Macao”and
a high degree of autonomy. Over the past 20 years, Macao has fully implemented
the principle of “one country, two systems”and
the MSAR Basic Law. Its economy has been growing rapidly and city has been
enjoying social stability and harmony. Its remarkable progress on all fronts is
a strong testimony to the viability and success of “one
country, two systems”that has been put into practice. Looking into the future,
with deeper integration into the national development strategy, Macao’s
tomorrow will be even more glorious, and the motherland’s “Lotus Flower in
Full Bloom” will enjoy long term prosperity for sure.
On the auspicious occasion of the 20th Anniversary
of the return of Macao to the China motherland, The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia
is cooperating with the mainstream media in Cambodia to organize this photo
exhibition, with an aim to showcase the remarkable achievements Macao SAR has
made in people’s livelihood, economy, society and external relations since its
return. We hope that our readers would take this opportunity to learn more
about Macao and China’s mainland. You are welcome to visit the Macao SAR to
experience the successful implementation of the “one country, two
systems” policy there and get a glimpse of this charming city, known as
the “Land of the Lotus Flowers”.
May the future of the Macao SAR be more prosperous and
glorious!
May the brotherly friendship between China and Cambodia last forever!

On the auspicious occasion of the 20th Anniversary
of the return of Macao to the China motherland, on behalf of the China Hong
Kong & Macao Expatriate & Business Association of Cambodia, I would
like to send a congratulatory message, expressing my best wishes for the
wonderful Macao and the prosperous motherland!
Macao’s return to the motherland is a great
achievement for the history of the Chinese nation. Since December 20, 1999, Macao
has embarked on a road of synchronized development with the motherland. In the
past two decades, the principles of “one country, two systems”,
“Macao people governing Macao” and a high degree of autonomy have
been fully implemented in Macao. With the strong support of the Central Government
and the joint efforts of the Macao SAR Government and all sectors of society, Macao
has achieved remarkable development, social stability and economic prosperity, with
its residents living and working in peace and contentment and multiculture being
well developed, becoming a successful model of “one country, two
systems” practice.
Over the past 20 years, Macao has been closely
connected with the motherland. With the strong support of the Central Government,
it has made remarkable progress in various fields such as people’s livelihood
and economy. Macao’s GDP increased from US$ 6.491 billion in 1999 to US$ 54.543
billion in 2018, an increase of nearly 7.5 times; per capita GDP rising from
US$ 15,200 in 1999 to US$ 82,600 in 2018, registering number one in Asia and number
two in the world, becoming one of the “richest” regions in the world.
At the same time, promoting the sustainable development of the economy and
using the development results to improve people’s livelihood has also become a core
concept of the successful practice of the “one country, two systems” with
Macao characteristics.
Looking into the future, with the implementation of the strategy of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area , Macao will embrace new opportunities. We believe that Macao, the beautiful lotus flower of the motherland, would bloom with even more gorgeous and charming colors. The wonderful chapter of the times, which is being created by Macao, would also leave its mark on the monument of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
