On May 21, a delegation from Chuuk State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) began its visit to South China's Guangdong Province, marking the 15th anniversary of the sister-state relationship between Guangdong and Chuuk State.

T.H. Alexander R. Narruhn, Governor of Chuuk State, highlighted Guangdong's tangible support, noting that several years ago, Guangdong provided five boats for Chuuk's Nomoneas region to address critical ocean transportation needs.

"It helps the municipal governments in their operations, especially in health services," he said, calling the aid "pretty tremendous and really helpful." 

Impressed by Guangdong's technical expertise and fast-paced development, the governor expressed a strong desire to learn from the region. "I hope that we can look up to that and learn from it," he stated.

While tourism is Chuuk's main resource, limited airline access poses challenges. Narruhn voiced openness to investment in tourism and aquaculture.

"Really, we are open for business—a partnership," he affirmed, adding that maintaining such cooperation benefits both sides.
