Trade Minister Manoa Kamikamica has highlighted the crucial role of trade in driving Fiji’s economic growth.
While speaking in Parliament yesterday, Kamikamica stressed how trade has opened up new horizons, generating fresh opportunities, and promoting innovation within the country.
Kamikamica discussed Fiji’s substantial contributions to the WTO fisheries subsidies agreement during his report on Fiji’s Trade Policy at the World Trade Organisation’s fourth review in Geneva in July.
Trade Minister, Manoa Kamikamica.
The Minister is calling for support in ratifying the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, which, once achieved, will make Fiji the first Pacific Island country to do so.
“It is crucial to clarify that this is not a legal scrutiny but rather a constructive stock take aimed at fostering a better understanding and providing recommendations for improvement.”
In response to a supplementary question from an Opposition MP and former Trade Minister regarding a trade framework review, Kamikamica assured that such a review was on the agenda.
The Minister said the ministry was advised to prioritize the trade review in Geneva for the time being.
