Fiji Parliament Delegation Participates in 2026 Pacific Islands Parliamentarians Seminar in China

The delegation, led by the Hon. Ratu Rakuita Vakalalabure, travelled under a fully-funded programme, which serves as a valuable capacity-building initiative, focusing on parliamentary governance, institutional leadership, sustainable development, climate resilience, and economic growth.

It provides a platform for participants to exchange ideas, discuss common development challenges, and learn from best practices that can contribute to advancing national and regional priorities.

With its theme, ‘Deepen Co-operation between National Legislatures to Achieve a China–PICs Community with a Shared Future,’ the seminar brings together parliamentarians from across the Pacific to strengthen cooperation, share experiences, and explore opportunities for closer engagement between Pacific Island Countries and China.

The seminar also plays an important role in strengthening parliamentary diplomacy, fostering mutual understanding, and deepening the longstanding relationships between Pacific Island Countries and the People’s Republic of China.

The Parliament of Fiji remains committed to engaging in international partnerships that support knowledge-sharing, capacity development, and collaborative approaches towards sustainable and inclusive development for the people of Fiji and the Pacific region. The programme is from July 20 to July 29, 2026.
