Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says we know that when we work on issues affecting our iTaukei communities, such as land, fishing grounds, headship titles, traditional knowledge, and culture, the only way forward is to work as one.

He made this comment while launching the 2022–2030 iTaukei Affairs Strategic Development Plan for both the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs and the iTaukei Affairs Board yesterday.

Bainimarama adds never before in Fiji’s history have the iTaukei people enjoyed such protection of their rights and opportunities to succeed.

He says they launch this plan on a bedrock of protections that ensures every inch of progress that they make will benefit the future generations because none of the iTaukei’s greatest inheritance –- their land –– can ever be taken from them.

Bainimarama says he meets people from all walks of life nearly every day and has been told countless times about the ways in which families and communities have benefitted from his government’s legislation, programmes and assistance.

He says the Fijian Holdings recorded a $14.9 Million Dollars net profit for the year ended June 2022.
