President Jioji Konrote says we are only beginning the hard work of reclaiming what this latest storm has stolen from us.

In his Christmas message Konrote says 2020 has been an extremely trying year for Fiji and in the wake of severe Cyclone Yasa’s climate charged devastation, families have lost their homes, farmers have lost crops and livestock.

He says despite the challenges, we must not give in to despair, we are here, we are standing, we are strong, and we are eagerly looking forward to a brighter day and future.

Konrote says in humanity’s ongoing struggle against the deadly COVID-19, Fijian businesses and the families that count on them are still suffering from a devastating global economic crisis, while families and friends remain separated by border closures as the pandemic rages overseas.
