New opportunities in the tourism, agriculture and manufacturing sectors are expected to be created in the Northern Division as a team from the World Bank will be in the country soon to listen and work with the communities.

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says Attorney-General and Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum recently met with a World Bank team to develop a well-resourced and ambitious plan to make Vanua Levu a case study for sustainable development.

Bainimarama says their plan includes a new airport that widens access to the North.
