According to the report from Samoa Observer, Chinese Government donated 87 vehicles, sports equipment and firework materials for the 2019 Pacific Games. On May 10, 2019, Samoa received sports equipment and vehicles from China for the 2019 Pacific Games at an official handover ceremony. China also donated clothing materials and performance props needed for the opening and closing ceremonies of the games. The value of these donations are unknown. The vehicles will be used for visiting heads of state and ministerial delegations as well as the transport of athletes during the Games in July. The donation also included world-class sports equipment and fireworks for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. These gifts will serve Samoa well, not only for the 2019 Games but beyond,” said Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi. “They will improve the performance of our current and future stars – our athletes, coaches, umpires and all the talent required to develop sports. "Samoa is now fully equipped with the right equipment and will be winning gold.”
