China’s ambassador to Fiji, Zhou Jian, says that China-Fiji relations and cooperation emphasize China’s commitment to cooperation and sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.

Jian says that China is also committed to encouraging more Chinese enterprises to invest in Fiji, carrying out cooperation in gray infrastructure, digital economy, clean energy, and low-carbon technology, and increasing the import of high-quality products from Fiji.

“Looking ahead, China and Fiji will continue to be good brothers with shared stances as those developing countries in Asia-Pacific countries. China will work with Fiji to practice true multilateralism and firmly uphold the international system, and the rest of the fleet will resist all attempts because of a new cold war.”

The People’s Republic of China is also committed to the protection of our blue ocean, its safeguard, and combating climate change.
