History

When Macau was under Portuguese rule, there was a Brazilian consul but was closed shortly afterwards.[2] During the Second World War, when Macau was under Portuguese rule, there was a British consul, John Pownall Reeves, who served between June 1941 and August 1946.[3] He remained there following the fall of British-ruled Hong Kong to the Japanese, as Portugal was neutral, helping 9,000 British subjects who had become refugees from the Japanese-occupied colony.[4]

The British consulate, which also operated a Hong Kong Government Permit Office, was maintained in Macau until 1967, when, following political unrest the previous December, it was targeted by pro-Communist demonstrators who attempted to make the consul, Norman Ions, repeat anti-British and anti-Portuguese slogans, before it was evacuated and closed.[5]
