The third group of cadres from Fujian Province, east China, recently arrived in the Tibet Autonomous Region in west China to initiate a three-year aid program.

The 31 members in the group, selected from 1,000 candidates, will be assigned to work in Nangxian County, Mainling County and a local farm, in Nyingchi Prefecture, during the period.

Since 1995, Fujian Province has sent two groups of officials, totaling 48 officials, to work in Tibet.

The third group of cadres, the last group in the province's ten- year project, pledged to cooperate with other institutions to well serve the people in Tibet and achieve a perfect end for the program.
