The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China has provided SBD$150,000 to the Solomon Islands National University (SINU) to fund the Chinese Ambassador’s Scholarship for the second semester of 2026. The scholarship will support 37 selected students.

The handover ceremony included Acting Prime Minister Francis Sade and China’s Chargé d’Affaires Yang Jie. This marks the fourth consecutive year the embassy has provided these awards to outstanding SINU students.
