In May 2017, the Chinese Government and the Government of Samoa signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA), which committed RMB 7.95 million of grant funding for the Apia Park Stadium and Aquatic Center Technical Cooperation Project. The purpose of this project was to dispatch four Chinese experts (two professional maintenance personnel, an electrician, and a plumber) for three years to provide technical support and training to maintain Apia Park Stadium and the Aquatic Center (both located in the city of Apia). This project was completed on June 30, 2019 (ahead of the 16th Pacific Games, which were held in Apia from July 7, 2019 to July 20, 2019).
