The draft framework aims at cultivating trust and respect amongst communities, as well as fostering stronger ties between the government and its citizens.

The framework envisions Fiji as a socially cohesive nation where individuals from all backgrounds – regardless of ethnicity, caste, creed, culture, tradition, language, or religion – can coexist harmoniously in an integrated and inclusive manner.

The presentations, conducted in the Central, Western, and Northern Divisions, saw the involvement of district officers, advisory councilors, religious leaders, and representatives from various communities.
