Bainimarama sends condolence message after London terrorist attack

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has sent a message of condolence on behalf of the Fijian Government and Fijian people to his British Counterpart, Theresa May in the wake of the terrorist attack on the Houses of Parliament in London.

Bainimarama says that thoughts and prayers are with the British Government and British people at this time and the hearts of the Fijian people go out especially to the families of those who lost their lives and to those who have been injured.

He says that Fiji is especially shocked by this brazen assault on the "mother of all parliaments" and the seat of Britain’s democracy.

Bainimarama adds that the news came as the Fiji Parliament met in Suva today.

He also assured our British counterparts that Fiji stands shoulder to shoulder with the United Kingdom to defeat the terrorist threat.

Bainimarama says that Fiji and the United Kingdom’s warm friendship is rooted not only in our historical ties but in our shared values and Fiji stands ready to support the United Kingdom in any way we can.
