MACAO -- The 10th International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum is to be held in China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) late May, focusing on sustainable and quality development of global infrastructure, organizers said here on Friday.

The two-day event, starting on May 30, is jointly organized by the China International Contractors Association and the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute.

The event provides an exchange platform for the international infrastructure sector, and promotes Macao's role as a platform of commercial and trade cooperation service between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, organizers said.

It would also allow Macao to give full play to its institutional, geographic and cultural strengths, while enhancing its competitiveness and participation in infrastructure collaboration with the countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.
