A　few　days　ago,　Seminar　on　Jiangsu-Macao？Portuguese-speaking　Countries　Agricultural　Cooperation　was　held　in　our　city.

The　meeting　pointed　out　that　Jiangsu　and　Portuguese-speaking　countries　have　always　maintained　friendly　relations.　Especially　since　the　first　Jiangsu-Macao？Portuguese-speaking　Countries　Business　Summit　was　held　in　October　2011,　the　exchanges　and　cooperation　between　Jiangsu,　Macao　and　Portuguese-speaking　countries　in　economy,　trade,　investment,　tourism　and　other　fields　have　continued　to　expand.　During　the　first　meeting　of　the　Council　of　Jiangsu-Macao？Portuguese-speaking　Countries　Business　Summit　in　2014,　five　industrial　cooperation　promotion　groups　including　agriculture　were　set　up.　The　mechanism　of　agricultural　exchange　and　cooperation　has　gradually　been　improved　and　continuous　expansion　of　achievements　can　be　seen.　Jiangsu　has　signed　a　number　of　agricultural　investment　and　trade　agreements　with　Brazil,　Angola　and　other　countries.　Last　year,　the　import　and　export　volume　of　agricultural　products　between　Jiangsu　and　Portuguese-speaking　countries　reached　6.72　billion　US　dollars,　accounting　for　one　third　of　the　total　import　and　export　volume　of　agricultural　products　in　the　whole　province.　The　fruitful　results　represent　the　deep　friendship　and　close　partnership.

Entrepreneurs　attending　the　meeting　have　expressed　that　they　will　seize　the　opportunity　and　strengthen　the　docking,　push　the　agricultural　cooperation　of　Jiangsu-Macao？Portuguese-speaking　countries　to　a　new　level,　and　jointly　compose　a　new　chapter　of　win-win　cooperation　and　coordinated　development.

At　the　meeting,　the　ambassador　of　Guinea　Bissau　to　China,　the　head　of　the　Portuguese-speaking　delegation　attending　the　event,　the　head　of　the　permanent　secretariat　of　the　China　Portugal　Forum　(Macao),　the　relevant　officials　of　Portuguese-speaking　countries,　representatives　of　agricultural　enterprises,　the　heads　of　relevant　agricultural　parks　and　enterprises　in　the　province,　and　the　representatives　of　relevant　scientific　research　institutions　also　made　communication　speeches.
