On 26 December 2008, the Chinese Ambassador and the Micronesian Minister of Foreign Affairs signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement (ETCA #73613) granting an unspecified amount to the Government of Micronesia.

On 10 June 2011, the same government officials signed an exchange of letters allocating 1.3 million RMB of these ETCA funds to sponsor 25 Micronesian technicians attend a biogas technology training course (or 密克罗尼西亚沼气技术培训班) in Chengdu, China.
