Melco Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho said, “We observed the military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance with pride. The parade not only demonstrated the nation’s strength but also its unwavering resolve to pursue a path of peaceful development.”

The event also featured a guest appearance by Ho Sut Heng, President of the Macao Federation of Trade Unions, who shared her reflections.

“Events showcased the capabilities of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, giving us confidence in our nation’s development and the maintenance of world peace,” she said.

Ho Sut Heng further quoted President Xi Jinping’s address, emphasizing the importance of “remembering history, cherishing the memory of our martyrs, sustaining peace and creating the future”.

Participating in the event, Debby Ung, Assistant Manager, Employee Engagement & Events at Melco, said, “Watching today’s military parade filled me with pride. It was a powerful reminder of how far our nation has come and how much strength and safety we share together.”
