At the request of the Ministry of Local Government of Fiji, the Chinese Embassy in Fiji donated 34,000 Fijian dollars to Wainilotulevu Village in Namosi Province, Fiji to reconstruct its community hall. On November 27, Ambassador Zhou Jian went to the village to attend the funding handover ceremony, which was also attended by Minister of Local Government of Fiji Hon. Maciu Nalumisa.
Ambassador Zhou Jian said that he was very happy to contribute to the development of Fiji's rural areas. Prime Minister Rabuka witnessed China's extraordinary achievements in poverty alleviation and rural revitalization during his visit to China in August this year. What the Chinese people can achieve, the Fijian people can also achieve! China will always be a good brother and partner on Fiji's development path, and ensure the benefits of China-Fiji cooperation can reach more ordinary Fijians.
Hon. Maciu Nalumisa thanked China for its valuable funding and said that in the nearly 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Fiji and China, China has always provided sincere support for Fiji's national development and improvement of people's livelihood. Fiji is much grateful for it.
The villagers expressed their gratitude to Ambassador Zhou Jian and said that they would work harder to build their hometown with the support of Chinese friends, and wished the friendship between Fiji and China everlasting!
