“A total of 400 members from the Republic of Fiji Military Forces and the Fiji Navy will be included in the main celebrations,” stated Mr. Ligairi. He also noted that bilateral partners, alongside government ministers, would attend the event.
The chief guest for the occasion will be the provincial chief and president, Ratu Wiliame Katonivere.
