The Danish Crown Princess Mary Elizabeth is in the country for her first official visit.
Minister for Rural and Maritime Development, and Disaster Management Sakiasi Ditoka received the Crown Princess on her arrival at the Nadi International Airport and Nausori International Airport.
Crown Princess Mary is accompanied by Denmark’s Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan Jørgensen.
The Fiji Government says this historic royal visit to our shores demonstrates the friendship between the two nations and it will further strengthen Fiji and Denmark’s cooperation in key development priorities such as climate change, women and girl empowerment, health, and awareness.
Crown Princess Mary has been a patron of the UNFPA since 2010.
She passionately advocates for health, gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
The royal visit from Denmark coincides with the United Nations Under-Secretary-General and the United Nations Population Fund Executive Director, Dr. Natalia Kanem’s official mission to Fiji.
They will be accorded a traditional welcoming ceremony by the Fiji Government today.
Crown Princess Mary will then proceed to the State House to pay a courtesy call to the President, Ratu Wiliame Katonivere.
The Danish delegation will be in the country until Thursday.
