The Defence Ministry’s Deputy Secretary, Ilai Moceica is urging Fijians to help police in curbing the emergence of drug trends.

While opening the Narcotic Workshop in Suva today, Moceica says the workshop will help devise a plan for ‘war’ against narcotic drugs.

“I wish to remind us all that the Fiji Police can only do so much in its efforts to address the drug problem in Fiji. We can make a major impact and I am optimistic that all of you would utilize your time wisely and deliberate on the proactive solutions to our drug problem grappled by our law enforcement agencies.”

The workshop is aimed at addressing all aspects of the worldwide drug problem and identify solutions specifically for Fiji.

Moceica says the 20 year National Development Plan encourages key government agencies to promote socio-economic stability and safeguarding of health and well-being of all Fijians.
