All the citizens of Fiji have been urged to fly a Fiji flag to commemorate 41 years of independence.

The permanent secretary for the Ministry of Information Sharon Smith-Johns said that Fiji Day celebrations marked an important and significant date in Fiji's calendar.

She said Fiji Day is the only time of the year when Fiji citizens remember how Fiji was given the responsibility to govern the country without external influence.

She said the Government is encouraging all citizens and friends, who are in Fiji to support this year's anniversary by flying a Fijian flag outside their home or office premises.

She said the Government is working closely with relevant stakeholders to make this year's event a memorable one.

She added that the best way to also celebrate Fiji Day is to reach out to those who are less fortunate.
