Thirteen of Fiji’s Heads of Missions are in the country for a three-day consultation that will commence tomorrow.
This is the first such meeting bringing together the country’s Heads of Missions from around the world to deliberate on national priorities.
The government says this is critical as the government has recently launched the National Development Plan, the Foreign Policy White Paper, and the ongoing National Defence and Security Strategy, and sector plans across the entire government system.
It says during the consultation, the way forward, including ensuring the full translation of strategic goals, will be outlined.
