Despite the challenges, Fiji remains attractive to investors and witnesses a growing number of innovative businesses being established in the country.

This was highlighted by the Minister for Industry, Trade Faiyaz Koya while officiating at the Fiji-Korea Business Forum.

Koya says in the past 5 years, Koreans have invested close to $35 million worth of projects in Fiji.

He adds during Fiji’s time of need, the Government of the Republic of Korea was a key partner in providing bilateral support in Fiji’s fight against COVID-19.

Koya also says there is potential for more trade opportunities between the two economies, especially the export of Fijian niche products such as pearls and noni products, manufactured food items under the “Fijian Made”, to name a few.
