Rabuka’s visit reaffirms the excellent and longstanding relations between Singapore and Fiji and builds on Singapore’s efforts to deepen our engagement of the Pacific following our admission as a Dialogue Partner of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) in 2022. Singapore has shared our development experience with more than 6,200 Pacific officials under the Singapore Cooperation Programme over the past 30 years, of which over 1,500 have come from Fiji.
As fellow Small Island Developing States, Singapore and Fiji share a commitment to upholding the rules based international order, strengthening the multilateral trading system, and tackling global challenges such as climate change.
