![]() THE Chinese embassy held a farewell reception last Friday for 38 Papua New Guinean recipients of the 2023 Chinese government scholarship. Of the 38 scholarship recipients, two were doctoral, 12 were postgraduate, 16 were undergraduate and eight were military scholarship students. Chinese ambassador Zeng Fanhua commended the students for winning the scholarship and urged them to make the best use of it so that they could come back and help develop the country. “You live in the best time of China-PNG relations and I hope that you will cherish the opportunity to study in China, work hard, learn the Chinese language and increase professional knowledge,” he said. “I hope that you could integrate your personal development into the development of your country and become the pillars of PNG’s development in various fields in the future.” He said he also hoped that the students would gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and the Chinese path to modernisation, actively participate in the friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and PNG, and play a key role in enhancing the traditional friendship between the people and promote the development of China-PNG comprehensive strategic partnership.
Higher Education, Research, Science, Technology and Sports Minister Don Polye, in a statement, congratulated the students and also thanked the Chinese government for helping in developing the human resources in PNG. Polye told the students that the scholarship was not only a privilege but also a mission for each one of them to achieve. “As Papua New Guinea needs people with knowledge in science, technology and innovation, through this scholarship, it will enable us to create new growth engines to support PNG’s stage of economic development and provide new opportunities for PNG’s growth,” he said. Scholarship recipient’s representative Jeffery Kuri Jr expressed appreciation to the Chinese government for granting them this remarkable scholarship.
