Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu has sent a congratulatory message to Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka for the recent elections and has also extended an invitation to Rabuka to visit Israel at a time convenient to him.

This congratulatory message was conveyed to Rabuka by Non-resident Ambassador of Israel to Fiji, Roi Rosenblit during a meeting yesterday.

Rabuka welcomed Ambassador Rosenblit on his official visit to Fiji to discuss the potential areas of cooperation between the two nations. In response, Rabuka expressed the Coalition Government’s and the people of Fiji’s best wishes to Netanyahu and the people of Israel. He also reaffirmed Fiji’s commitment to further strengthen partnership with Israel at the global and regional levels.

Rabuka says the Coalition Government’s plan to establish a Fiji Embassy in Jerusalem within the next 2 years, signifies the importance of longstanding relations between Fiji and Israel.

Rosenblit says Israel looks forward to welcoming Rabuka to Israel to take the Fiji-Israel’s relations to newer heights.

Rosenblit says Israel is keen to collaborate in a number of initiatives particularly, in the capacity building and skills development trainings, in areas of agriculture, technology, business and investment.

During his weeklong visit to our shores, Rosenblit will meet senior government officials and the Heads of Missions in Suva and will discuss the current areas of cooperation, while exploring opportunities to increase the levels of collaboration between Fiji and Israel.
