The work undertaken by staff at Fiji’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in advancing Fiji’s foreign policy was praised this morning.
At a military parade officiated by the Head of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama, the recent achievements by government was relayed to all officers who took part in the parade.
Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama highlighted how Fiji’s achievements in the international fora were largely credited to the leadership of Fiji’s foreign minister Ratu Inoke Kubuabola and the head of Fiji’s mission to the United Nations Ambassador Peter Thomson.
Citing Fiji’s recent leadership roles in the G77+China group and the International Sugar Organisation, Prime Minister Bainimarama highlighted that while it will be a huge responsibility, he reiterated Fiji’s capability in steering these two organisations.
Fiji was elected Chairmanship of the G77+China group last month at the United Nations office in New York and was also elected Chairmanship of the International Sugar Council in December last year.
