2018年是中国-葡语国家经贸合作论坛（澳门）成立15周年。经过多年的努力，目前中国与葡语国家经贸合作（简称中葡经贸合作）的总体态势是机制完善、领域广泛、发展迅速、成绩显著、前景广阔；无论是进出口贸易，还是相互投资乃至文化交流，中国和葡语国家的合作已经成为我国国际交流合作的重要组成部分。在国家的支持下，澳门依托中葡论坛，积极加强对葡语国家以及葡语国家与内地相关省市的经贸文化联络，在推进中国和葡语国家经贸合作方面做出了重要贡献。尽管中葡经贸合作仍然存在贸易结构有待升级、法律风险意识有待加强等问题，澳门平台建设也有待进一步加强，但在“一带一路”倡议以及粤港澳大湾区建设进程中，中国与葡语国家经贸合作将迎来新的发展机遇，澳门亦将在其中发挥更加重要的作用。
2018 is the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries（Macau）. At present，the overall trend of economy and trade cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries is that the mechanism is perfect，the fields are extensive，the development is rapid，the achievements are remarkable，and the prospects are bright. Meanwhile，the cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries has become an important part of China’s international economic and trade cooperation whether it refers to import trade，export trade or mutual investment. With the support of China，relying on the Forum between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries（Macau），Macau has actively strengthened its economic and cultural ties with Portuguese-speaking countries and other relevant provinces and cities in Mainland China，and also made great progress in promoting economic and trade cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. Although there are problems in trade structure and legal risks between China and Portuguese-speaking countries in economy and trade，and the role of Macau’s platform still needs to be further strengthened，in the process of “the Belt and Road” Initiative and the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area，the economic and trade cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries will face new opportunities for development，and Macau will play a much more important role in it.
