Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama met with Prince Charles in London before his departure for the Conference of the Parties 25.
Bainimarama says Prince Charles had the distinction of handing over Fiji’s Instruments of Independence.
He says to this day Prince Charles remains a great ally to the Fijian people especially in the campaign for climate action.
The Prime Minister also met with the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Secretariat, Baroness Patricia Scotland in London yesterday where a number of other issues regarding climate change were discussed.
Bainimarama says climate change can no longer remain a mere topic for discussion and it needs decisive and immediate action from everyone.
He says Fiji acknowledged the good efforts made by the Secretariat to have climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience widely discussed in their respective forums with Member Countries.
With the annual UN climate meetings presently underway at the COP 25 in Madrid, Spain he says it is equally important for every nation to continue to raise concerns and to never give up on any opportunity to take deep and decisive action.
