The year will be the first in-person Forum Macao conference since October 2016, although an extraordinary ministerial conference was held online in April 2022.

The meeting comes amid a backdrop of increasing trade between China and the lusophone nations, which totalled nearly US$221 billion last year, up almost 3 percent from 2022, according to Forum Macao data.

Forum Macao was founded by the central government in 2003 to promote trade between the world’s Portuguese-speaking nations and China.
