Fiji exports goods worth over $25.3 million to Papua New Guinea while PNG exports to Fiji total $7.9 million, and both countries are now working to deepen collaboration through trade, investment, and regional partnerships.
While speaking during the Fiji-PNG Business Forum, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade Manoa Kamikamica says they are not just trade and investment partners, but members of one Melanesian family, connected by history, culture, and shared aspirations.
He highlighted Fiji’s commitment to supporting business-friendly environment, citing the presence of PNG companies such as Mineral Resources Development Company (MRDC), BSP, and Credit Corporation operating alongside Fijian companies in PNG like Vodafone, Jacks, and Prouds.
Kamikamica says the South Pacific Stock Exchange and Papua New Guinea’s PNGX Group are collaborating to develop stronger, more integrated financial markets.
He says this is not just about capital – it is about confidence in a shared Pacific economy.
PNG Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Lands John Rosso highlighted the importance of working together to make both countries good places for investment.
Acting PNG High Commissioner to Fiji Bill Olmi says both governments recognise that trade agreements are not just about economics; they are about people, communities, and shared regional prosperity.
He adds PNG and Fiji working together strengthens the entire Melanesian region.
