India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi says the first ever Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital in the South Pacific, is yet another symbol of the special and enduring bond between India and Fiji and marks a new chapter in the shared journey of both countries.

The children's hospital was established with the help of Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Heart Hospital in India

While giving his congratulatory remarks in a video message , Modi says the immense contribution of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and his followers to the welfare of the needy and the under served around the world, emphasizes that the purpose of our resources is to serve humanity.

Modi says despite the existence of a vast ocean in between, the two countries are closely bonded together by culture and strong people to people ties.

He further says the bilateral relations have strengthened and grown over the years across all domains and he hopes with the cooperation of the Fijian side, the relationship will become even stronger in the times to come.

Modi also conveyed his personal greetings to Fijian Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, who celebrated his 68th birthday yesterday.
