Human Resources Training for Vanuatu Government Officials in China in 2013

In 2013, China invited 52 Vanuatu officials and technicians to China to attend about 48 short and medium-term seminars and 3 Master programs organized by the Chinese government (or 援外人力资源开发合作项目). Officials who have taken part in the project report that they are helpful, and there is much to learn from China to better serve their own country. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Website states that this is an ongoing project - providing short term seminars and one-year master's degree programs to selected participants from Vanuatu. The Vanuatu Institute of Public Administration and Management, as well as the Vanuatu Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are responsible for selecting participants. Since 2005, nearly 450 Vanuatu officials and technical personnel have attended over 300 Human Resources Training Programs in China. These training courses or seminars usually last 2-3 weeks and are generally held in Beijing, Shanghai or provincial capitals. Subjects of seminars and programs include agriculture, public administration, tourism management, communications, trade regulation, media management, and other major areas of work or study. Human resources training is an important part of the Chinese government's assistance to Vanuatu.
