New Zealand High Commissioner Charlotte Darlow shared similar sentiments, saying being part of the service brought a shared sense of unity, comradeship, and collective security.
She adds that it is important to remember that today’s peace comes from the hard work and sacrifice of previous generations.
Also present at the service were Acting Police Commissioner Juki Fong Chew, Fiji Navy Commander Humphrey Tawake, Returned Soldiers and Ex-Servicemen President Ratu Peni Volavola, and members of the ex-servicemen as well as members of the disciplined forces.
