Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On said yesterday that the central government was “deeply concerned about the safety of Macau’s residents,” amid concerns about safety at the still under-construction Taishan Nuclear Power Plant.

Chui also vowed that his government will always be in close contact with the Guangdong provincial government about the plant’s construction progress and operation. 

Chui made the comments during a press briefing about the 2016 Macau-Guangdong Joint Co-operation Conference at the Macau East Asian Games Dome in Cotai. Chui talked about the nuclear plant before answering reporters’ questions.
