He says despite its relatively small size, Rotuma continues to influence Fiji’s history.

The Prime Minister says that the government has a vision for Rotuma which emanates from the National Development Plan and one that will ensure that basic infrastructure is available for all Rotumans, where Government services are made available to each and everyone and that every community is able to grow and prosper.

He says that the government will work towards bolstering the partnership between the private and public sector to ensure that Rotuma is able to accommodate various types of economic activities that will revitalise the rural economy and raise standards of living.

Rabuka says despite the challenges, he believes there is a better future for Rotuma as he sees a people that are strong, resilient, and have always punched above their weight.

The celebration featured traditional performances, and displays of root crops and handicraft, as well as basket weaving and coconut cutting competitions.
