The three events are Nadi Town’s 70th anniversar­y celebratio­ns, Nadi City Declaratio­n and the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant scheduled at the end of next month.

“This will be historic, Nadi to be first hosting the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant in Fiji. I know Nadi will put on its celebratio­ns hat and host the event, as only they can,” Mr Bala said.

Mr Bala thanked stakeholde­rs, business houses and the people of Nadi for their support and positive turnout at the event.

“I wanted to have the Pre-Event Launch so that we all know the main events, and work together towards it,” he said.

Mr Bala thanked the Nadi Town Council for being the main driver of the preparatio­ns for the events of which the pinnacle is Nadi being declared the third city for Fiji.

“I will also be looking to all of you and Nadi’s corporate citizens to make the Nadi Town 70th Anniversar­y Celebratio­ns and City Declaratio­n a grand and memorable one,” he said.
