The President of India, Droupadi Murmu will visit Fiji from next Monday to Wednesday.

During the visit, President Murmu is expected to sign an agreement on the proposed sites for the construction of a new Indian Chancery, Cultural Centre and staff residence, as well as the 100-Bed Super Specialty Hospital, in Suva.

She is the second woman after Pratibha Patil to hold the office.

The Fijian Cabinet says this will be the first time for an Indian Head of State to visit Fiji.

Cabinet confirms an Inter-Agency Coordinating Committee has been established to coordinate the visit and to ensure that each element of the programme is planned and executed as per expected standards.
