During the Chief Executive's visit to Portugal in April this year, the Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) successfully held, in Lisbon, the exhibition “Macao, Successes of ‘One Country, Two Systems’: Carrying Forward the Legacy of Sino-Portuguese Friendship and Writing a New Chapter in the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ Principle”. 

With the aim of continuing and broadening its promotional effect, fully demonstrating to the outside world the significant results of the successful practice of the “one country, two systems” principle since Macao's return to the motherland, telling the stories of China and Macao well, and at the same time continuously deepening traditional friendship with Portugal and other European countries, as well as actively expanding exchanges and cooperation in diverse fields, the MSAR Government is launching the travelling exhibition “Macao, Successes of ‘One Country, Two Systems’” in Europe, whose venues include Portugal, Spain, Belgium and Switzerland. 

The first stop of the “Macao, Successes of ‘One Country, Two Systems’” Travelling Exhibition in Europe is taking place in three Portuguese cities from 12 to 22 October 2026, namely: the Polytechnic University of Leiria, in Leiria; the University of Coimbra, in Coimbra; and the University of Algarve, in the Algarve region. 

The exhibition is divided, essentially, into six chapters: “Preface”, “The ‘One Country, Two Systems’ Principle is the Foundation of the MSAR's Prosperity and Stability”, “A Bridge for Opening Up to the Outside World and a Window for Exchanges and Mutual Learning between Civilisations”, “The Hengqin Cooperation Zone Creates New Development Space for Macao”, “A Harmonious and Stable Society Ensures a Healthy and Safe Life”, and “Conclusion”. 

Through detailed textual material in Chinese and Portuguese, accompanied by more than a hundred images, the exhibition recalls the past, focuses on the present and looks to the future, highlighting achievements in various fields political, economic, social and in the wellbeing of the population attained since the establishment of the MSAR under the guidance of the “one country, two systems” principle.
