“It also meant creating the environment where Fijian companies and expatriates companies can participate on a level playing field.”

The Attorney-General says companies should be open to new innovative ideas for progress to happen.

“As a country and a society we should always be open to new ideas. We should always be open to new technology and new ways of doing things as long as it is improving the way we are currently doing things.”
