Within just three months, apart from a Convention Centre Prime Minister Charlot Salwai (and his successors) also were handed a new office building concept last Saturday with the unveiling of an artist impression of the project.

With these buildings at the heart of Vanuatu, PM Salwai created a Historic event with a number of ceremonies to mark the decommissioning of the former French Residency Offices and also it marked the unveiling of a plaque by the Chinese and Vanuatu Government.

The construction company from China with Chinese builders on board made a remarkable presence at the Pacific Islands of Vanuatu with these fabulous buildings and their structures. From the Convention centre to Prime Minister’s Office their work had been pleasing to the eyes of the Government and helping in the growth of National bonding. The convention centre was designed by them three years ago and completed in under two years with 80 Chinese tradesman with builders travelling through Port Vila during the period. They also employed and trained 100 local nationals to work as a labour for them.
