Iun Iok Meng said at the meeting that the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Power Industry Services Seminar is a significant annual event for the power industry, it serves as a communication platform for the power industry in the three regions and plays an important role in boosting their development. Over the past 20 years, CEM has learnt from the Seminar various new technologies, and its peers’ speeches at the seminar have played an integral role to the sustainable development of Macau. Given that geographical locations and urban development planning and objectives are different in the three regions, CEM has also inspired its peers to have innovative thinking. The Seminar has achieved an all-win situation. It is expecting that this year’s Seminar will build on the success to continue advancing the power industry, so as to help establish more eco-friendly and liveable cities in the three regions.
