Representatives of food producers in Macao and countries where Portuguese is spoken have visited the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu to promote their merchandise, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) says.

They exhibited to the public examples of the food they produce, showed how to make Portuguese-style appetisers, offered wine for tasting, auctioned some of their merchandise, arranged games and put on performances of music from the Portuguese-speaking Countries.
IPIM says the visitors got their message across to over 20,000 people.
