“It is a very interesting Ministry, of course national security is very important, and we have defence cooperation’s with our partners as well. But for me it’s important that I settle in very quickly, get briefing from senior staff, and of course the two major institutions.”

Seruiratu adds that he will continue the good work that has been undertaken by the previous Minister Inoke Kubuabola.

He says they will also look at the Ministry’s priorities and strengthen its relationships with various stakeholders.
