On April 13, 2018, Foshan Municipal Government (Guangdong province) donated an excavator worth 20 million Vatu to Port Vila, Vanuatu (or 佛山市向维拉港捐赠挖掘机). A handover ceremony was held on that day. The ceremony was attended by the Chinese Ambassador, Liu Quan, the Mayor of Port Vila, a member of the Foshan municipal government, and the Head of the Embassy's Business Office. The donation is part of the sister city program between Foshan City and Port Vila.
