Ratu Wiliame commended the carnival committee for their commitment and passion to organize such an event as well as assisting the Fiji Police Force.

He says the significance of this collaboration was highlighted in April, when the Duavata Northern Crime Prevention Carnival Committee handed over a caravan to the Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew to assist the force with its community policing operations in Labasa.
