Regarding the exchange and promotion of friendship among the Japanese community in Macau, the Japan Society of Macau organises various activities regularly, such as Japanese book exchange meetings, bowling competitions and events for interaction amongst women living in Macau, which has made a remarkable contribution to the exchange and promotion of friendship between Japanese nationals in Macau.
 
The Japan Society of Macau has also made various efforts to enhance mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and Macau by co-hosting the “Japanese Culture Festival” with the society for people who have experience of studying in Japan; arranging business matching events to connect Japanese and Macanese businesses, as well as introducing Japanese-speciality products to Macau.
