The Ministry of Employment, Productivity and Workplace Relations in Fiji is extending heartfelt Diwali wishes to the nation. Minister Agni Deo Singh emphasized that as the Festival of Lights is celebrated, it is essential to embrace its true spirit, which embodies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and unity over division.
In his address, Singh encouraged individuals to reflect on shared values such as hard work, compassion, and community, extending his best wishes to all hardworking Fijians at home and abroad. He also took the opportunity to commend Fijian workers participating in the New Zealand Recognized Seasonal Employer Scheme and the Pacific Australia Labor Mobility Scheme. Singh highlighted their dedication and professionalism, which have bolstered both the Fijian and regional economies, bringing pride to the nation.
Furthermore, Singh expressed gratitude to employers and industry partners for their ongoing efforts to create fair, safe, and productive workplaces that not only uplift communities but also strengthen the nation’s prosperity. His message resonates with sentiments shared by other leaders in Fiji, such as Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and Opposition Leader Inia Seruiratu, who highlighted Diwali’s significance as a time for unity and reflection among Fijians of all backgrounds.
As the festival approaches, local leaders have reiterated the importance of community cohesion, kindness, and compassion, reminding everyone to support those who may be experiencing hardships during the celebrations. This Diwali encourages Fijians to come together, share joy, and embody the festival’s values of goodwill and tolerance.
In a celebration that underscores unity amidst diversity, Diwali serves not only as a festive occasion but a powerful reminder for all Fijians to foster harmony and understanding in their daily lives, bolstering hope for a shared future filled with mutual respect and collective progress.
