A delegation of officials from the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands is currently in Palau, seeking ways to strengthen the working relationship between our two communities.
The delegation includes Rep. Ramon Tebuteb, Rep. John Paul “JP” Sablan, Northern Marianas College Community Development Institute director Floyd Masga, and NMC dean of Administration and Resource Development David Attao.
While in Palau, the officials will meet with members of the Micronesian Voyaging Society to discuss non-instrument navigation program and ways in which the CNMI can join the training. The delegation will also tour the facilities of the Palau Community College School of Career & Technical Education and the Palau Tourism & Hospitality School of Excellence where they will observe students in classrooms and laboratories. Finally, the CNMI delegation will tour the PCC Research & Development Station in Ngermeskang and the Multi-Species Hatchery in Ngermetengel, both in Ngeremlengui State. (PCC)
