Investment Fiji in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport organized an investment seminar for Government officials and the representatives from the private-sector organizations in the central, northern and western divisions to update the stakeholders on the new investment legislations.

Chief Executive Officer, Kamal Chetty says the agency aims to provide a positive economic impact on the lives of Fijians through creating employment and providing premium investments and export markets.
