I’d like to acknowledge the incomparable support of the Government of Australia and the people of Australia. Today’s gathering underscores the importance of our Vuvale partnership and while we are bound together by geography, it is sport that brings our people together.

The Australian Government has announced an additional $10 million assistance for the rebuilding of schools in Fiji’s northern division that were devastated by tropical cyclones in 2020 and 2021.

Australia and Fiji’s enduring relationship is underpinned by the Fiji-Australia Vuvale Partnership. As Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka said when we met, our “Vuvale is one home. Family.” Fiji can count on Australia as a committed member of the Pacific family, and long-standing and reliable partner.
