澳門美國商會新閣拜訪中聯辦 雙方就澳經濟前景深入交流
【特訊】澳門美國商會剛完成換屆，主席蔡明威日前帶領新一屆理事會成員拜訪中央人民政府駐澳門特別行政區聯絡辦公室，獲經濟部陳國凱部長、孫耀華處長及趙速助理接見。雙方會面期間就商會及澳門經濟發展前景作出深入探討及交流。
蔡明威首先介紹商會架構，新一屆理事會沒有太大轉變，只是原有企業會員迎來了一些既新且年輕的領導層，薪火相傳，蔡主席期望一同帶領商會持續健康發展。
新任理事永利澳門董事會副主席兼執行董事陳志玲稱很高興能成為商會理事，擔任理事是因為公司和商會的理念一致，期望和商會攜手拓展機會，繼續將澳門發展成經濟多元城市。
同為新一屆理事的仲量聯行澳門總經理唐偉樂表示公司著力推廣澳門旅遊城市地位，期望協助更多外國品牌認識及落戶澳門。
金濠漢堡食品有限公司行政總裁暨麥當勞被特許發展商何翠萍稱畢業後繼承父業，於數年前將業務拓展至內地並於二０一九年開設橫琴分店，對琴澳兩地發展充滿信心。
陳國凱部長充份肯定了商會於澳門成立十五年所發揮到的平台作用。疫情三年，經濟衝擊對澳門大小企業造成不同程度的負擔，特區政府也動用了龐大儲備去保障民生各種需要。疫情下突顯了澳門單一經濟的弊端，所以特區政府要加快步伐發展經濟多元，也希望商會會員能積極參與發展。縱觀環球經濟，本澳經濟要回覆疫情前水平甚具挑戰。中央政府去年出台的《橫琴粵澳深度合作區建設總體方案》於橫琴給澳門開闢新的領地，各界應抓緊機遇，相信兩地政府合作下可達到長遠的經濟發展目標。
澳門美國商會於社會上扮演着重要且獨特的角色，於近年中美關係上，這溝通橋樑更顯其重要作用。商會未來應為本澳中美企業做更多溝通及服務並重申對商會有很大期望，盼其為中美企業謀多些合作發展機會。
澳門美國商會新閣如下：主席蔡明威、第一副主席陳偉麟、副主席馬偉奇、庫務長麥文彬、法人秘書長Kim Johnson、理事王英偉、馮小峰、陳志玲、何翠萍、唐偉樂、監事會山度士、馬可寶、夏龍及榮譽主席謝思訓。
