The chairman of a leading casino and hospitality group in Macau said on Tuesday that his city and Hong Kong should work together to attract more foreign investors.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Two Sessions in Beijing, Galaxy Entertainment Group chairman Francis Lui said Macau’s leisure industry has been developing steadily in recent years.

He said he has full confidence in the industry’s future development, adding that the two SARs can work together to take business to a new level.

“Hong Kong and Macau, we have a common objective in making sure that there will be more foreign players, customers and investors coming over,” he told RTHK.

“I think we should cooperate with each other, making sure that all the hardware, all the services and all the resources behind Hong Kong and Macau could be working together to make sure that we bring in foreign investors.”

Lui, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, said Hong Kong’s economic development is an issue for delegates.

He said he hopes the central government will introduce measures during the Two Sessions that will help revitalise the city’s economy.
