Leadership Fiji Chairman William Parkinson says everyone has to tackle Fiji's growing drug issue together and today's National Dialogue titled “Substance Abuse – Let’s Talk About It! Finding a Fijian Solution! is the way to start.

It is being organised by Leadership Fiji with the support of the Ministry of Defence.

Parkinson says there will be discussions on how Fiji can learn from the rest of the world.

Some of the speakers who have confirmed their participation for the dialogue are a reformed drug addict, Drug-Free World, Ministry of MOMS, The Salvation Army, Saint Giles Hospital, Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation, National Substance Abuse Advisory Council, Fiji Police Force, and Fiji Corrections Service.

Those that missed out from registering can watch the livestream on fijivillage.com and also participate by sending in their questions, suggestions and ideas on this issue.

The program will finish at 5pm today.

Those attending may also have their measles vaccination as the Raiwaqa Health Centre will have their nurses stationed at the venue too.
