Japan is assisting Vanuatu to build new school classrooms and to improve water supply systems.
Last week an official from the Japanese Embassy in Fiji, Yukihiro Tsujimura, handed over the keys for new classrooms in Port Vila and Pango on Efate.
Mr Tsujimura also opened a new water supply system for the Kerevalis area on Santo.
The ten million vate project will allow 700 people daily access to modern hygienic water facilities.
