Project narrative
On May 3, 2013, the Chinese Government donated 20 luxury left-hand drive Hongqi vehicles worth RMB 12 million for the Group of 77 High Level Panel of Eminent Personalities of the South Summit hosted by Fiji from May 7 to 9, 2013. The cars were typically only used by Chinese government officials in China but served as the means of transportation for many world leaders at the summit. Fiji intends to use the vehicles first for the concierge reception at the Group of 77 Meeting, and then as public vehicles for various government departments. The cars are now held by the Ministry of Finance and are used for transporting VIP officials and dignitaries. The HongQi vehicles were produced by China First Automobile Works (FAW Group Corporation).
