澳门位于我国南海之滨、与香港、广州三足鼎立,是珠江三角洲的三大港口和中心城市。澳门包括凼仔、路环两个离岛在内,土地面积约17平方公里,人口约35万人。1987年4月,中国和葡萄牙两国政府发表关于澳门问题的联合声明,宣布中国政府将于1999年12月20日起,对澳门恢复行使主权。澳门在回为祖国后,将如何发展?在中国的对外开放和现代化建设中,将发挥什么样的作用,这些都是事关今后澳门繁荣与稳定,以及中国统一与发展的重要问题。
Located at the shores of the South China Sea, Macau is closely linked with Hong Kong and Guangzhou. It is the three major ports and centers in the Pearl River Delta. Macau includes Taipa and Luhuan, two outlying islands. The land area is about 17 square kilometers and the population is about 350,000. In April 1987, the two governments of China and Portugal issued a joint statement on the issue of Macao, announcing that the Chinese government will resume its exercise of sovereignty over Macao starting from December 20, 1999. How will Macao develop after returning to the motherland and what role it will play in opening up and modernization in China are all important issues that concern the future prosperity and stability of Macao and the unification and development of China.
