Prime Minister Hon. Sitiveni Rabuka addressed members of the Fijian Diaspora in Los Angeles last night, highlighting key government priority areas earmarked for the United States of America (U.S.A).
With the re-opening of the Fiji Embassy in Washington, PM Rabuka confirmed that the coalition government is also looking to boost staffing at all our diplomatic missions for more reliable and efficient services.
“For immigration services, it’s quite difficult for some of you to travel all the way to Fiji to get passports renewed and for this reason, we are committed to boosting staffing so that our Missions are empowered to handle immigration matters and other necessary services,” he said.
“The government has its fair share of challenges and our first 17 months have not been easy, but we continue to find ways to keep moving forward.”
The Prime Minister, at the same time, commended former citizens in the U.S for progressing in a place they now call home.
“You are all bearers of the Fiji flag wherever you are. Be proud Fijians and know that we are proud of you,” he added.
“Whatever you do here, continue to hold Fiji at heart.”
PM Rabuka also took the opportunity to update them about government’s development initiatives and plans for the future.
After the traditional formalities, a talanoa session was held where those in attendance had the opportunity to engage directly with the Prime Minister.
