On behalf of the APSTM delegation, Dr. Cui thanked SCBG for the warm reception. He pleasantly recalled the past cooperation between SCBG and Macao. For example, as early as 1986 SCBG's experts edited the monograph Plant Checklist of Macao, and subsequently edited several other monographs, such as Forests of Macao, Plants and Animals of Macao, and Medicinal Plants of Macao in recent years. These monographs have produced huge influence in the Macao science and technology circle, and popularized botany knowledge among Macao citizens. The two sides were satisfied with the conducted cooperative projects and wished to continue further collaboration.

After discussion, the delegation visited some special gardens in SCBG, including OrchidGarden, Fern and Shade Plant Garden, Medicinal Plant Garden, and Cycad Garden. All the guests gave a high appraisal of the garden landscape and the rare plant resources of SCBG. They expressed the willing to visit SCBG again next time.The visit of APSTM delegation furthers the connection and cooperation between SCBG and Macao.
