The Macau Ricci Institute organized its annual symposium late last week. The event was held once again exclusively in a digital format, and it addressed the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic had on the relationship between China and the rest of the world.
Diocesan Youth Commission Deputy Director Tammy Chio is currently in Portugal to attend a preparatory meeting convened by the organizing committee of next year’s World Youth Day. Macau’s participation in the event, which takes place in Lisbon from 1st to 6th August 2023, seems to be well underway. A final decision, nonetheless, should be announced next summer. The last word remains with the Macau government and the anti-Covid policies still in place.
