“So we currently have RFMF Engineers here on the island who are working around the clock in the renovation of the Ulunivuaka and few touch ups so it could be ready before the Bose Levu Vakaturaga and we are so thankful on the preparation that has been done so far”.

Komaitai says the island of Bau is all geared up for the event, with hundreds of guests expected for the four-day event.

Tunitoga says the province of Tailevu and the vanua o Kubuna are ready to host the GCC meeting after 41 years.
