Fiji-China trade exceeds $1.1B annually, but Fijian exports to China have room to grow. At the 2024 China Trade Exhibition, I emphasized the potential for 🇫🇯 products like kava, organic foods & marine resources to tap into China’s market. Let’s bridge the gap! 🌏 #Fiji #Trade

My memento from Daku Cooperatives Ltd. at the successful launch of the UN International Year of Cooperatives by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka. We also launched a Digital Portal that will enable all #Cooperatives access relevant services from Ministry of Trade, Co-operatives, MSMEs and Comms, from any where in #Fiji, with a few clicks.

A defining moment for Fiji’s entrepreneurs. We’ve validated our first-ever 5-Year #MSME Strategic Plan — bold, inclusive, and built to double MSMEs’ GDP contribution by 2030. From Suva to the most remote islands — every business counts. #FijiMSME #InclusiveGrowth #Cooperatives

Fiji’s Trade Info Portal (TIP) is a game changer for transparency—bringing all import/export rules into one online platform. It also lays the foundation for a full Trade Single Window, where approvals & documents can be submitted digitally. #TIP #TradeFacilitation #SingleWindow

“Digital is no longer a choice we make. It’s the new standard we must adopt.” At #FICA2025, I shared how Fiji is redesigning how Government works with business. We have the plans. We have the strategy. Now we need the people - especially Accountants. #NationalDigitalStrategy

Communication isn’t just about speaking — it’s about connecting. At our Strategic Comms Workshop, we focused on two critical intelligences: 🧠 EQ — to lead with empathy. 🤖 AI — to enhance, not replace, our voice. Grateful to Spirit of Endeavour for investing in #TeamFiji.
