President of Federation of Kuching, Samarahan and Serian Division Chinese Associations Dato Richard Wee and wife Datin Donna Drury Wee as well as China’s deputy consul-general in Kuching Zhang Yang and consul Jiang Ying were also present.
Fu will serve in Libya after this after fulfilling his two-year tenure here.
He was appointed China’s consul-general in Kuching in January last year to succeed Liu Quan, who served from May 2013 to January 2016.
