The PM says it’s great to see the progress made at Blackrock.

It builds on the bilateral meeting he had with Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama yesterday, where they went through follow up actions on the items discussed in Canberra not that long ago.

Prime Minister Morrison was received by Fijian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Defense and National Security, Inia Seruiratu and also visited the 183 RFMF officers who are on a six-week pre-deployment training for Iraq.

The Australian Government’s assistance towards the HADR Camp is part of its Pacific Step-Up initiative.
