Fiji owes Queen Elizabeth, our heartfelt respects for her warmth and attention to Fiji – NFP

NFP Leader Professor Biman Prasad

The National Federation Party says they join the world in mourning, and offer their immense condolences to the royal family after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

The party says the respected House of Windsor and the royal family has had a long and lasting connection with Fiji, and indeed many of their party elders, met and engaged with members of the royal family whenever national celebrations occurred, to welcome them to Fiji.

They say Fiji owes Queen Elizabeth, our heartfelt respects for her warmth and attention to Fiji from the days of British colonial rule, to the negotiations of our founding fathers of Fiji at Marlborough House, right up until Fiji welcomed independence, with His Majesty King Charles III present in Fiji, to officially hand over our instruments of independence.
