Investment Fiji has been awarded the Foreign Direct Investment Award for the South, East Asia and Oceania region at the AIM Investment Awards 2025, held during the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) Congress in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates recently.
The award recognizes exceptional achievements by Investment Promotion Agencies that have made significant contributions to global economic growth and development through foreign direct investment. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade Manoa Kamikamica commended Investment Fiji for the achievement and says winning the best Foreign Direct Investment award at the AIM Investment Awards is a powerful endorsement of Fiji’s Investment policies and position as a leading investment destination in the region.
He says it actually highlights the commitment, capability and dedication of the team at Investment Fiji.
Kamikamica says they are making significant progress on the global stage, and this recognition will further elevate their international standing.
Investment Fiji Board Chair Jenny Seeto described the win as a significant milestone for the organization, stating that being named the best in Asia is an extraordinary honour and speaks volumes about the talent and passion that defines Investment Fiji’s work.
She says this international recognition place Fiji firmly on the global investment map and sends a powerful message to the world that Fiji has strong potential.
Seeto says the Award not only celebrates the results we have achieved but also strengthens investor confidence in Fiji.
The Board Chair also says the global exposure that comes with the AIM Investment Awards will inspire the organization to explore new opportunities, build stronger partnerships, and attract investments that are aligned with Fiji’s national development plan.
She has sincerely thanked Kamikamica, for his unwavering support and leadership, which continues to strengthen Fiji’s investment landscape.
In commending Chief Executive Officer Kamal Chetty and his team, Seeto highlighted that the achievement is testament to their hard work, creativity, and commitment to excellence.
She says every campaign the team has conceptualized, every strategy that was implemented, and every challenge the team overcame together has contributed to this significant milestone.
Seeto says Investment Fiji’s transition into a fully-fledged Investment Promotion Agency just three years ago makes the global recognition even more significant, reflecting the team's strategic direction and ability to consistently deliver outstanding and innovative results.
She says this is just the beginning and they know there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of expanding our reach and ensuring significant investment and trade.
Fiji’s Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Siddiq Faizal Koya, accepted the award on behalf of Investment Fiji during the official gala dinner.
Investment Fiji stood out as the regional winner in a highly competitive category, with Invest India named as the runner-up.
