Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says even an economic crisis like COVID-19 is no excuse for complacency.

He made these comments while opening the new $10 million Grace Field Service Station Complex in Nawaicoba, Nadi.

Bainimarama says they expect development in our country to always meet high standards adding they expect their partners in the private sector to play by the rules, respect the laws, and act in good faith.

Bainimarama adds they are looking at their partners in the private sector to help write the story of Fiji’s economic recovery and there is a need for more companies to seek innovative ways to better serve their customers.
