The Chinese Vice Premier, Mr. Hu Chunhua, paid a special visit yesterday to the Samoa Arts and Cultural Centre, inside the Malifa School compound.
Construction started last year, with the building spread out over the full size of a school rugby field.
The Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, accompanied the Chinese leader, to jointly mark the completion of the structural construction phase of the building.

The next prisoner to break out of the newly built Tanumalala Prison, will feel the weight and the wrath of the Government stomping foot that is promised to come down hard if it happens again.
Staff of the Samoa Prisons Authority blamed for any escape will suffer the same thumbing fate as well.
The Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi did more than reach out a hand in the resurrection of the Samoa National Development Party or SNDP, during the week.
He also tipped off the organisers of the former opposition party on how to dethrone his ruling Human Rights Protection Party, HRPP.
Tuilaepa was invited to deliver the keynote speech at the re-launching of the political party at the Tuutuuileloloto Hall on Wednesday.
Did Stui enjoy watching the Manu Samoa versus Wallabies test match with Australia’s PM Morrison at the weekend?
The question jumped out of a photo of the two leaders standing shoulder to shoulder with huge warm smiles on their already well known faces.
If a picture is worth a million words, the one showing these two is worth a couple of billions.

The Commissioner of Police, Fuiavailili Egon Keil, has confirmed attempts to extradite from Australia, Mr. Tala Pauga, in connection with on going investigations into an alleged conspiracy to murder Prime Minister Tuilaepa.
Fuiavailili did not confirm whether Pauga is the fourth suspect in the alleged murder plot except the local police and its Australian counterparts are working together.
Wonder what Australia’s popularity rating in the region is after the ‘condescending and alienating’ fall out from the Tuvalu Forum?
Probably very low….as in the very bottom low.
The island leaders, including the lovely PM Jacinda Ardern, did not hold any lasting smiles as they made their way home.
Stui wasn’t smiling either! But he was not quite in gun blazing mode as his straight shooting Fijian mate, Bainimarama
Faith in the overriding will of God has left the Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, unconcerned by any plot to have him killed.
His reaction on national radio yesterday, was the first time he has responded publicly to an alleged murder conspiracy on his life.
“ God has already worked out the time a person dies and how,” he recalled his response to a similar threat made on his life more than a decade ago.
The anti vaccinators had their reasons the same as that ‘cancan’ water fella, to do and say what they believe.
The only difference was the time and place for them to make their stand was off.
ONLY IN SAMOA : Poster promoting the holiday cheer while a young vendor tries to smile from behind a measles protection face mask, is probably the best way to sum up where we are right now.
If you see someone walking around with a ‘sei pua’ or yellow frangipani over the next few weeks, it’s to let you know about cancer.
August is cancer month, for those of us who don’t know yet.
