Two of the cables will land in Suva and the other two in Natadola, establishing a direct link to major global regions including the United States, Australia, Japan, and South America.
The event was marked by a welcoming ceremony attended by Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica, along with representatives from the land-owning unit, FNPF, the Google team, and other key stakeholders. Kamikamica emphasized the strong collaborative effort between the Fiji Government, Google, and participating organizations, stating, “This project highlights the confidence global partners have in Fiji.”
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the project not only underscores Fiji’s commitment to enhancing digital connectivity but also aims to stimulate economic growth within the country. He expressed appreciation for the collaborative support from all partners involved, including local stakeholders and the land-holding unit.
The initiative aligns with Google’s ongoing project in Fiji, which is focused on fortifying the country’s digital infrastructure. This development not only elevates Fiji’s role as a regional digital hub in the Pacific but is also anticipated to create new economic opportunities and broaden its technological landscape.
Overall, the arrival of the Bulikula Subsea Cables solidifies Fiji’s position as a key player in the digital realm, opening doors for future advancements and connectivity. This progress represents a hopeful step towards a more interconnected and economically prosperous future for Fiji.
