A Fiji-Japan Agreement has been signed for major meteorological infrastructure development.
The Fiji Meteorological Service has formalized its collaboration with the government of Japan for the development of a regional center.
This is for the improvement of meteorological services and disaster risk reduction in the Pacific.
Under the collaboration, the Japanese Consortium of Nippon Koei Co. Ltd., Koei Research & Consulting Inc., and the Japan Weather Association will be consulting on the prospective development.
This follows the initial agreement between two bilateral ties, where Japan is committing $27 million toward the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility for regional meteorological operations and disaster risk management.
The Fiji Meteorological Service has confirmed that preparatory work for the new facility is underway.
