India’s new Prime Minister Narendra Modi wishes to work with the Fijian Government.

This message was conveyed to the Attorney-General and Minister for Industry and Trade Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum by the Bharitya Janta Party Co-convener Vijay Jolly.

In welcoming the Fijian delegation Jolly says that India’s Prime Minister wishes to strengthen existing ties, including the development of trade and business between the two nations.

Khaiyum said that the close ties between Fiji and India have not yet translated into real benefits for either country in terms of trade and investment, but he expects that to change after the two countries signed a Double Taxation Avoidance (DTA) Agreement and launched an Indo-Fiji Business Association in January this year.

Khaiyum, on behalf of the Fijian Prime Minister, reiterated Fiji’s congratulations and well wishes to the new Indian Prime Minister. 

During the meeting, the (Sayed-Khaiyum)Minister also updated the BJP representatives on the preparations being made for Fiji’s forthcoming election, which will be held in September this year.
