Cities strengthen links in culture, creative sectors

Beijing aims to strengthen cooperation with Macao in culture and creative industries, said a senior culture official.

"Though Macao is small in size, it is a gateway to the Portuguese-speaking countries. It has resources that the Chinese cultural industry can explore," said Zhang Huiguang, Party chief of Beijing State-Owned Cultural Assets Supervision and Administrative Office.

The agency was established in 2012 to oversee the city's cultural affairs and manage assets of State-owned cultural enterprises.
