On 24 July 2026, the Chinese Embassy in Vanuatu visited the headquarters of the Rural Development Party (RDP) of Vanuatu for a party-to-party exchange. H.E. Ambassador Li Minggang, President of RDP Hon. Jay Ngwele, Secretary General of RDP Hon. Gracia Shadrack, among others, attended the event.

Ambassador Li vividly introduced the 105-year journey of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the remarkable development achievements it has led the Chinese people to accomplish. He also provided a systematic overview of Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building, noting that China will continue to uphold the principle of the “Four Full Respects” and expand party-to-party exchanges with Vanuatu, with a view to deepening the all-weather, all-round friendship and cooperation between the two countries.

Ngwele expressed appreciation for China’s long-standing selfless assistance to Vanuatu’s economic and social development, noting that the RDP is committed to serving the interests of ordinary grassroots communities, a philosophy that closely aligns with the CPC’s people-centered approach. He reaffirmed the Party’s commitment to the one-China principle and expressed its readiness to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China.

Following the event, Ambassador Li presented President Ngwele with copies of the Xi Jinping: The Governance of China series.
