The Chinese Government has donated one million dollars in humanitarian aid to support rebuilding and recovery efforts following severe Tropical Cyclones Yasa and Ana.

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama acknowledged China’s timely assistance.

Bainimarama says the assistance affirms the strengthened collaboration between the two countries.

He says it a testament to China’s commitment to advance the levels of engagements with Fiji.

Chinese Ambassador to Fiji, Qian Bo says they are ready to strengthen development strategies that will jointly facilitate co-operation under the Belt and Road Initiative.

60 percent of the grant can be allocated to the Ministry of Education, 20 percent to the Ministry of Agriculture, and 20 percent to the Ministry of Fisheries as these three sectors were most affected by the Cyclones.
