Macau can only assert itself in arbitration with more legal expertise

The president of the Institute of European Studies in Macau emphasized the need for enhanced legal expertise in international law to strengthen Macau's role in resolving disputes between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. During the 23rd Seminar on Intellectual Property, Paulo Canelas de Castro highlighted the importance of keeping up with developments in economic international law and jurisprudence. He noted that initiatives like the seminar help address complex legal challenges arising from technological advancements. The University of Macau has been fostering academic cooperation with Portuguese-speaking countries, recently conducting a mission to Mozambique, Angola, and Brazil to enhance legal collaboration and discuss issues related to national and international law.
