Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama today spoke plainly about what Fiji expects of the Pacific region over the next 30 years as Fiji started national consultations on the development of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.

While opening the national consultation workshop at the Grand Pacific Hotel today, Bainimarama says this strategy will shape the development of the region in the next 30 years.

Bainimarama says Fiji’s sights have been set on the future for some time.

He says Fiji already has a 20-Year National Development Plan which lays out the strategic vision across every sector of government.

Bainimarama says the document is the starting point in our journey towards 2050.

Bainimarama says next year, Fiji will host the Pacific Islands Forum as Chair as this Forum enters its 50th year.

He says as leaders gather at our shores, Fiji’s leadership of this Forum will determine the quality of regionalism that emerges from the ashes of this pandemic; and this Strategy will be at the heart of our ambition.
