A delegation from the Ministry of Commerce of the Chinese government and the Academy for International Business Officials (AIBO) met with representatives from the Ministry of Civil Service (MCS) in Suva.
The Department of China-Aid Training oversees all training programs supported by China, coordinated by AIBO.
During the delegation’s visit, Permanent Secretary Mr. Parmesh Chand expressed gratitude to the Chinese government for its ongoing support, which has benefited thousands of public servants over the years. This year alone, more than 100 Fijian public servants traveled to China to participate in specialized training programs, and Chand expressed confidence that they returned equipped with valuable knowledge and skills to implement what they learned.
Chand noted that the AIBO delegation’s visit has strengthened training and human resource development ties between Fiji and China.
“The meeting provided us an opportunity to share insights, identify prospects to advance our mutual objectives, and exchange ideas,” he stated.
Civil servants who participated in AIBO trainings also attended the meeting, sharing how the program has contributed to their professional development.
