April 8, 2021
Palikir, Pohnpei—This afternoon, Ambassador of Japan to the FSM Sobashima Hidenobu met with FSM Secretary for Foreign Affairs Kandhi Elieisar to officially sign paperwork to turn over a $3.7 million grant to be used for capacity building at the FSM Fisheries and Maritime Institute.
The FSM Fisheries and Maritime Institute (FMI) is located in Yap and operated by the College of Micronesia FSM.  It offers majors in Navigation, Marine Engineering, and Fishing Technology.
Ambassador Sobashima said that FMI has been hampered in its ability to conduct field training due to lack of necessary equipment. He said that the grant would be used for construction of additional classrooms and dormitory rooms, and also rigid-hull inflatable boats and a training ship.
