Investment Fiji, in collaboration with Global Affairs Canada, hosted a networking reception in Nadi on Wednesday evening to welcome Randeep Sarai, Canada’s Secretary of State for International Development. This event highlighted the essential connections between Fiji and Canada, particularly the strong diaspora ties that exist between the two nations.
Investment Fiji emphasized the importance of this engagement, noting it serves as a living bridge that fortifies both people-to-people and business relationships. The collaboration is seen as pivotal for Fiji, as it offers Canadian investors a chance to explore untapped opportunities in areas like sustainable development and tourism, crucial sectors for the Fijian economy.
“Facilitating direct engagement with the Canadian delegation allows us to assist Fijian businesses in navigating pathways to North American markets,” Investment Fiji stated. At the event, which took place at the Crowne Plaza, Canada’s High Commissioner to Fiji, Jennifer Lalonde, reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to seeking meaningful partnerships that yield tangible benefits for Fiji’s development.
Local entrepreneurs and businesses from Nadi leveraged this opportunity to present their ideas and discuss collaborative ventures with Canadian officials, creating an atmosphere conducive to fostering innovation and growth. This networking reception not only underscores the potential for economic collaboration but also enriches the prospects for local industries in building stronger ties with international markets.
