Under this project, the project team will carry out a series of investigations in different countries and regions and Macao was the first stop of the investigation series. The subjects under investigation in Macao mainly included: the legal positioning of Macao in the Belt and Road Initiative and in the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area; the role played by Macao in the legal cooperation mechanism of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the successful experiences of Macao in “ruling Macao by law” and “creating law-based business environment”.

As such, Macao occupies an important strategic position in the construction of the “Belt and Road”.
