The Speaker of Parliament Dr. Jiko Luveni says Diwali is a festival where people from all walks of life come together to enjoy the lights on display, the sweets and food on offer for friends and strangers who pass by.

While speaking at the Diwali celebration and the launch of the website at the Permanent Mission of Fiji in Geneva, Switzerland, Dr. Luveni says the festival signified the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness

She says in Fiji, the festival is celebrated by people of all communities, who enjoy an opportunity to dress in sumptuous costumes and visit friends to eat Diwali specialities.

Dr Luveni is currently in Geneva to attend the General Assembly of the International Parliamentary Union with the Minister for Women, Children & Poverty Alleviation, Mereseini Vuniwaqa and member of opposition, Semesa Karavaki.

With the launching of the website, the public at large can now get quick and easy access to essential information on Fiji and also on the roles and responsibilities of the Mission in Geneva.
