China is teaming up with Pacific Island nations to level up cooperation on climate action, trade, and regional stability! 🌊 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will host leaders from 11 Pacific Island Countries (PICs) in Xiamen this week for the third China-PICs Foreign Ministers' Meeting – the first in-person edition held in China.
🔍 The talks aim to deepen partnerships in everything from sustainable development to cultural exchanges, while addressing shared challenges like economic resilience. With trade between China and PICs hitting $6.3 billion in 2024, this collaboration is a power move for both sides.
💡 Fun fact: Nauru recently reconnected diplomatically with China in January, joining 182 other nations in recognizing Beijing. Could this meeting spark more global alliances? Stay tuned! 🚀
