Host: I’m very glad to talk to you in Beijing. What’s the purpose of your official visit to China? What are the key issues you have talked with Chinese government and other agencies and institutions?
David Sheppard: China plays a very important role in Pacific Region. In particular China has a lot of experience, expertise in the areas that SPREP works on. So I’m here this week to discuss with relevant agencies of China, such as the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to discuss and outline what SPREP is doing, to hear what’s happening in China and to discuss if there maybe opportunities for joint cooperation and working in the future.
