The Ministry of Youth and Sports says it looks forward to future collaborations with the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund for the betterment of youth development in Fiji.

Following a courtesy call from UNICEF Pacific Representative Jonathan Veitch, Minister Jese Saukuru says his ministry will work to advance Fiji’s interests through stronger collaboration with UNICEF on the key priority areas, including youth empowerment to be resourceful and to be the advocates of change.
