To support Vanuatu as the host of the 2017 Pacific Mini Games and promote the development of sports in the country, and to mark the upcoming 100th anniversary of the CPC, China assisted in the construction of the stadium for the games and provided technical and material assistance for Vanuatu.

The Prime Minister of Vanuatu and the Minister of Youth Sports visited the stadium several times, highly appreciated the quality and progress of the project, and sincerely thanked the Chinese government for its selfless help and the project technical team for its hard work.

They encouraged Vanuatu's athletes to make good use of the sports facilities and achieve good results in the games.
