Earlier today, held productive discussions with Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka of Fiji. India’s ties with Fiji are time-tested and are growing significantly. Our talks focussed on how to add more vigour to our developmental partnership. We discussed ways to deepen ties in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, defence, security and technology. Cultural linkages between India and Fiji are an important pillar of our relations and we will also work to deepen these ties.
