The Chinese government has donated 47 military vehicles to the Republic Fiji Military Forces.

The 47 vehicles includes three off-road ambulances and an off-road water tanker which will assist the RFMF during deployment.

While officiating at the handover Minister for Defence and National Security, Inia Seruiratu acknowledged the longstanding diplomatic relationship with China since 1975.
