He emphasized that in the face of changes unseen in a century accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the pursuit of a better life remains the common aspiration of mankind and a major driving force behind social progress, which demands fresh insight and renewed strength from political parties in the world. "I see the role played by party-to-party exchanges and cooperation as very important in promoting state-to-state relations. I believe we in the developing world can learn a lot from the CPC's consistent adherence to both theoretical and practical development solutions to common challenges and to problems unique to developing countries", he added. Loughman concluded that the Vanua'aku Pati is committed to working hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder with the CPC and other world political parties and organizations to ensure the wellbeing of the world's people, address challenges to humanity and promote the building of a shared future for mankind.

In his written speech, Hon. Kalsakau expressed gratitude to the CPC for its continuous help to the people of Vanuatu, and looked forward to further strengthening the cooperation between the UMP and the CPC and between the two countries. He said that the UMP strives to build an educated, healthy and wealthy nation through education, business, access to quality health care and improved infrastructure. He stressed that "the Vanuatu Government has introduced and adopted new pathways to economic growth through financial support from our development partners, especially the People's Republic of China under your leadership, Your Excellency, Xi Jinping." "We extend this country's heartfelt appreciation to the intervention of the Chinese Government to the need for the whole world and indeed, Vanuatu to be vaccinated as a necessary cause and to the generous donation of Sinopharm vaccine which is being rolled out as we speak." "On behalf of the Union of Moderate Party we thank you the Communist Party of China for your continuous assistance to our people and we look forward to the continuation of excellent cooperation into the future", he added.
