Rabuka is also exploring ways for China to localize employment once the project commences.
He stated that this would provide more opportunities for locals to utilize their skills and knowledge in rural development, a goal supported by both countries.
The Prime Minister is also expected to tour the Nabalebale road stretch later today and visit the Savusavu airport tomorrow.
