Apart from calling on government and Municipal Council representatives, the delegation also toured a community centre above a market complex, a modern incinerator and the new Macau Airport.
"We are most impressed by the new development in Macau in recent years, as well as the success of the campaign to keep the city clean," said the Chairman of the Kwun Tong District Board, Mrs Winnie Poon.
"We also appreciated the chance to exchange views with Mr Jorge Rangel on how to encourage voter turnout in their forthcoming elections."
In summing up the successful one-day visit, Mrs Lau said she wished there would be opportunities for DB chairmen to visit other territories in the future.
She also expressed the hope that government officials and the municipal councillors from Macau could visit Hong Kong in the near future so that the Hong Kong government and DBs could reciprocate the hospitality received.
