MACAO, Dec. 20 -- Chinese President Xi Jinping said here on Saturday that Macao compatriots have gained a growing sense of identity and belonging with the motherland 15 years after Macao's return to China.

Xi told a celebration gathering that the close national bond of "blood being thicker than water" is becoming ever stronger.

"Love for the motherland and love for Macao has become a prevalent value in Macao society," he added.

In the meantime, he said, Macao, as a historical city where Chinese and Western cultures meet, displays a unique charm that belongs to a culture typical of Southern China, yet with a distinctive European touch.

"Here, communities from various ethnic backgrounds live in harmony and help and learn from each other," said Xi.

"Together, they present to the world a dynamic Macao beaming with vitality."
