Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has conveyed his deepest sympathies to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the wake of a devastating terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that occurred on Tuesday.
The Prime Minister also expressed strong condemnation of the heinous act which targeted both tourists and innocent civilians and has extended his heartfelt condolences to the families who have tragically lost their loved ones and wished a full and speedy recovery to those who were injured.
Rabuka says Fiji stands in solidarity with the people of the Republic of India at this difficult time.
More than 20 people have been killed after gunmen opened fire on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The attack took place in Pahalgam, a picturesque town in the Himalayas often described as the "Switzerland of India".
The region's chief minister, Omar Abdullah, says the attack was much larger than anything they have seen directed at civilians in recent years.
Reports suggest that there are a large number of wounded, with some in critical condition.
