The Indian government has today provided $2,172,576.35 in aid to the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama which will assist the agriculture industry in the country.

While presenting the cheque to Bainimarama today, Indian High Commissioner to Fiji Vishvas Sapkal said that the aid is for the continuous recognition of the strong bilateral relationship between the two countries.

He says that India has partnered with Fiji in development and they are also ready to provide support in the railway network development.
