A FOUR-DAY event supported by Investment Fiji, New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE) and the NZ Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFAT), is set to provide a platform to the incoming delegates to hear about the resilience of the Fijian economy, the opportunit­ies available in Fiji, business registrati­on processes as well as B2B meetings.

A statement from Investment Fiji yesterday said about 30 business representa­tives from the New Zealand Fiji Business

Council (NZFBC) would be in the country as part of the ‘Trade and Recovery’ business mission next week - June 20 to 23, to enhance NZ’s trade and investment relationsh­ip with Fiji.

NZFBC president Chandar Sen said the council had been on a business mission every year since 2015 except for the past two years, which were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said the 30 individual­s who were part of the mission, were from 22 companies that had registered to attend the event and the joint conference to do business with Fijian companies, buy

Fijian goods and services and vice-versa.

“We have members who have an interest across a range of sectors and modes of business.

“The industries and sectors include manufactur­ing, boiler services, training and education, technology, logistics, profession­al services, constructi­on materials, trade facilitati­on, and environmen­tal management,” said Mr Sen.

“We are optimistic that our members will be able to explore new opportunit­ies to grow our trade and investment links,” he said.

Investment Fiji chief executive officer Kamal Chetty said the mission was to set to generate a lot of interest for the various sectors in Fiji and potential investors who would want to invest in the country.

“This event is very significan­t for us and our stakeholde­rs as we have a lot of common interest areas to collaborat­e and discuss on and I would like to thank NZTE, NZFBC as well as the FNZBC for their support,” said Mr Chetty.

A four-day event will start at Tanoa Plaza, Suva from Monday June 20 to Thursday June 23, 2022.
