Fiji’s National Development Plan presents an ambitious vision for the country’s future, indicating a clear path for progress, according to Lands Minister Filimoni Vosarogo. He emphasized the importance of effective execution in overcoming the challenges that lie ahead.
Speaking at the Nadi Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s annual business forum, Mr. Vosarogo highlighted that achieving the desired outcomes will require strong partnerships among the Government, the private sector, and civil society. He stated, “Only through coordinated efforts can we translate policies into tangible results that align with our shared objective of sustainable economic growth.”
The Minister pointed out that Fiji is blessed with fertile lands, mineral resources, and rich marine ecosystems, and the key to unlocking their full value is through sustainable practices. He called for targeted investments, both from domestic and foreign sources, particularly in crucial areas such as infrastructure, advanced technologies, and skills development.
Mr. Vosarogo urged that Fiji’s primary industries should play a significant role in boosting the national GDP. He noted that the government is dedicated to establishing policies, incentives, and support mechanisms essential for the growth of these industries. However, he emphasized that collaboration from the business community and investors is crucial for turning this vision into reality.
Together, he believes, Fiji can achieve self-sufficiency, create job opportunities, improve livelihoods, and enhance exports contributing significantly to the nation’s economy.
This initiative reflects a hopeful outlook for Fiji, focusing on collective effort and sustainable growth as pillars for a prosperous future.
By fostering such partnerships and emphasizing the value of cooperation, Fiji is positioning itself not just for short-term gains but for long-term resilience and self-reliance, which can pave the way for a thriving economy.
