Both ministers emphasized the need for a united approach to finding effective solutions.
Naivalurua assured Kiran of the Fiji Police Force’s full backing, underscoring their commitment to working together.
A key focus was the role of law enforcement in combating technology-facilitated crimes, particularly the rising issues of gender-based violence and child pornography.
