Rabuka met India’s Minister of State for External Affairs, Dr. Rajkumar Ranjan Singh, yesterday to discuss prospects for greater development cooperation between Fiji and India.

He acknowledged the proud history and cultural links shared by the two nations since the arrival of the first indentured labourers on our shores in 1879.

Singh commended Rabuka’s exemplary leadership in building national unity and promoting inclusivity and diversity through initiatives such as the Girmit Day celebrations.
