The Department of National Heritage, Culture and Arts today highlighted the need for more platforms to be made available to showcase Fijian artefacts and other heritage items.
The Department’s director Mr Peni Cavuilagi accompanied the Department’s permanent secretary Dr Brij Lal to the Fiji Arts Council studio in Suva today and pointed out the need to look for more spaces to showcase Fijian heritage.
The Ministry of Education permanent secretary Dr Brij Lal who is in charge of the National Heritage department said that the visit will help him evaluate all those sections that come under National Heritage and Culture.
“I want to look at the activities going on at these sites to see what the projects are for the year and how they are progressing.
“I would like to have a brief on how finances have been used and the challenges”, Dr Lal said.
He also added that there will be a need to look into repairs for these heritage sites, but each section will provide him a brief to do so.
The Permanent Secretary and his team also visited National Trust of Fiji and the Fiji Museum.
