In Macau, I feel that the implementation of 'One Country, Two Systems' is not only reflected at the institutional level, but also deeply integrated into people's daily lives, "Ahmed Said, an expert on Chinese affairs in Egypt and President of Egypt's Hikmet Cultural Industry Group, said in a recent interview with reporters. As President Xi Jinping has pointed out, Macao's economic, social, and cultural development achievements in the past 25 years have benefited from the significant institutional advantages and strong vitality of the 'One Country, Two Systems' policy
Said studied at Ningxia University and can speak fluent Chinese. He visited Macau for the first time in 2019 to participate in the first Macau International Book Fair and traveled there for about a month. Afterwards, he also paid more attention to Macau, so he has a deeper understanding of Macau.
When I first arrived in this city, its style deeply impressed me. In the midst of modern prosperity, Macau retains its unique charm. I really enjoy my time in Macau, "said Said." Walking on the streets and alleys of Macau, I deeply appreciate the integration of Portuguese culture and Chinese culture. Portuguese style architecture coexists with Chinese temples, and Eastern and Western cultures blend together. Macau cuisine is unique and inclusive. 'One Country, Two Systems' has enabled Macau to maintain its diverse cultural characteristics
Said has been committed to promoting Chinese books and promoting cultural exchanges for many years, with a particular focus on the development of Macau's cultural industry. Macao's cultural industry is full of innovative vitality and has made contributions to regional economic development and cultural diversity, "said Said.
Said said that when he was in Macau, he found that "the prosperity and development of Macau are amazing," and the number of international conferences and events held in Macau was astonishing.
Said said that the economic miracle of Macau "cannot be separated from the overall takeoff of the Chinese economy". China has created a global economic miracle, and Macau is an important part of this miracle... With strong support from the Chinese central government, Macau has maintained strong growth momentum in the face of wave after wave of global crises, even surpassing many European cities
"I always believe that Macao is not only a place where East and West cultures blend, but also an important stop to participate in the the Belt and Road initiative and promote the implementation of global development initiatives, global security initiatives, global civilization initiatives and building a community with a shared future for mankind," he said.
