Twenty civil servants will be leaving for a nine-day Leadership training programme in Shanghai, China, next week.

“As a team, we look forward to the trip and we do hope that the People’s Republic of China will always have this training opportunity available for our colleagues. “And we hope to see more interactions and partnership in the future.” Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Fiji, Qian Bo while speaking to the nominees said: “As Civil Servants, your role is extremely important for the future of Fiji and China as well”.
