The Minister for Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening (MPGIS) Alfred Lazarus Rimah has encouraged scholarship recipients to make the most of the educational opportunities provided through the partnership between China’s Jiangsu Province and Malaita Province.
Speaking during the Jiangsu–Malaita partnership meeting at Mendana Hotel on Thursday, Rimah congratulated the students and urged them to pursue their studies with commitment and excellence.
“To all scholarship recipients, I offer my warmest congratulations. You have been entrusted with a valuable opportunity. I encourage each of you to pursue your studies with discipline, humility and excellence,” Rimah said.
He encouraged the students to gain knowledge, strengthen their skills and embrace cultural understanding while studying abroad.
“Acquire knowledge, develop your skills and embrace cultural understanding. Use what you have learned to serve your communities and contribute to the development of Malaita Province and our beloved Solomon Islands,” he said.
Rimah said investing in education is one of the best ways to prepare future leaders and professionals who will help drive sustainable development in the country.
He also thanked the Government of the People’s Republic of China, PRC and Jiangsu Province for supporting the scholarship programme, saying the initiative reflects the strong friendship and growing partnership between the two provinces and their shared commitment to improving the lives of Solomon Islanders.
