Rotumans in New Zealand are being urged to support each other to ensure their values, culture and language remain strong.
Hundreds of Rotumans celebrated the end of their language and culture week in Auckland this weekend.
Fiji's High Commissioner to New Zealand, Filimone Waqabaca called on Fijians living in New Zealand to come out of isolation and support each other.

He says Rotuma is in Fiji, and as a multicultural country all the various ethnic groups should participate in each other's functions.

He also praised the progress towards protecting the language, culture and values of the Fijian communities in New Zealand.
