A delegation of 60 Chinese entrepreneurs and government officials led by China’s Vice Minister for Commerce Jiang Zengwei is due in Fiji this week, as part of bilateral efforts to strengthen Sino-Fiji relations.
Fiji Islands Trade and Investment Bureau (FTIB) chief executive officer Annie Rogers said the trip is a collaboration between FTIB, the Fiji-China Business Council and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Fiji, with a workshop planned for Tuesday in Suva.
“The workshop will be officiated by H.E Mr Jiang Zengwei. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss matters related to furthering economic and trade cooperation between Fiji and China in addition to enabling an environment where those from Fiji and China’s private sectors convene and explore ways for furthering business cooperation,” Rogers said.
The delegation includes 10 government officials and a team of 50 entrepreneurs from various large scale enterprises in China.
It will also include officials from China’s Export/Import Bank, who are expected to hold talks with the Fiji’s Housing Authority on matters relating to Housing Authority’s $70 million loan applications.
Also coinciding with the event is the arrival of Pacific Islands Trade Representative in China, Samuela Savou, who will deliver presentations in Nadi on the opportunities in China as an emerging market in the Pacific.
