INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

The UK's Relations with Macao

We enjoy close and constructive co-operation with the Macao authorities in areas of mutual interest. For example, the UK and Macao signed an air services agreement in 2004. We also helped the SAR Government to develop export control legislation for the territory.

The British Consulate General (BCG) in Hong Kong is responsible for all of the UK's bilateral dealings with the Macao SAR Government. The BCG is also responsible for providing consular assistance to British Nationals in Macao and in 2004 appointed Mr Glenn McCartney as Honorary British Consul.

Many UK citizens make regular visits to Macao from around the region, particularly Hong Kong. Relatively few Macao residents make the journey to the UK, though now that the UK has granted visa free access for Macao SAR passport holders we hope to see more visitors.

Macao's External and Bilateral Relations

Macao is a member of a number of international bodies including the World Trade Organisation, World Customs Union and Interpol. It also has close links with the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.

The EU's Relation with Macao

A trade and co-operation agreement, signed in 1992, forms the basis for the European Union's co-operation with Macao. Under the terms of the agreement, Macao and the EU have agreed to co-operate in the fields of industry, investment, science and technology. They hold annual bilateral meetings to review progress. Macao has an Economic and Trade Representative Office in Brussels, and there is a range of institutions in Macao that help promote EU-Macao relations.
