A plan to create a three member International Advisory Group that would independently oversee the process of the Peoples Charter was highlighted by the President Ratu Josefa Iloilovatu at today’s opening address of the first meeting of the National Council for Building a better Fiji.

In his address to members who were present at the historic meeting, His Excellency, the President highlighted that last year Government had been consistent and had taken concerted efforts to reaching out to the international community to better understand Fiji’s situation.

“Since mid-May last year, Fiji has been consistent and concerted in its efforts,to outreach the international community, and in particular our development partners, seeking better understanding of Fiji’s particular situation, we also invited them to extend financial and technical assistance for the Peoples Charter,”His Excellency Ratu Iloilo said.

With work to begin on the formulation and creation of a draft Peoples Charter once a 45 member council is announced, His Excellency, the President has reiterated to communities of the nation to seriously support this national cause in order to steer the country towards a progressive multiracial society.
