“As Fijians living in Australia, you should take pride in your heritage and homeland and the immense strides Fiji has made, and continues to make, as we embark on a new era of prosperity and cooperation.
“I want you all to know that no matter where you go or what you do, Fiji will always be your home.” These were the words of encouragement delivered by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka during the Fiji Business and Investor Talanoa Cocktail in Sydney earlier tonight.
He said, “I acknowledge the immense contribution that the Fijian community has made here in Australia and we look to our diaspora here and around the world, to bring their new found ideas, knowledge and expertise back home to Fiji”.
Prime Minister Rabuka emphasised that the People’s Coalition Government is committed to removing barriers for former Fijian citizens, particularly when it comes to investments and the ease of doing business.
The Prime Minister also highlighted about the new era of cooperation in further strengthening our people-to-people links and enduring bilateral partnership which provides a strong foundation for enhancing economic cooperation, defence and security and developing trade and investment ties.
“We enjoy and respect your contribution to the development of Fiji and I hope you will all be positive contributors to this great land,” he told those in attendance.
The event was also attended by some investors who have greatly invested into the Fiji market.
