During that visit, the Prime Minister expressed the hope that a sister city relationship could be developed between Shenzhen and Apia.

This week, a delegation from the Shenzhen People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries is visiting Samoa, led by the
Association’s Vice President, Yuwen Wang.
Mr. Yuwen said that the focus of his discussion with the Prime Minister would be how to promote the relationship with Samoa and Shenzhen.
He explained that Shenzhen, which has relationships with 60 cities in 39 countries, is a high-tech modern metropolis containing the
Chinese equivalent of Silicon Valley.
It is a vibrant manufacturing hub and a popular tourist destination.
Thanking the Government of Samoa for the invitation, Mr. Yuwen said he and his colleagues were grateful for the warm welcome they had received.
He said the delegation was impressed with the Samoan hospitality and the beautiful scenery.
“We are looking forward to establishing a closer relationship between Shenzhen and Apia,” he added.
