The Minister for Multi-Ethnic Affairs and Sugar Industry Charan Jeath Singh, is currently in India to attend a prestigious Sugar and Ethanol conference in New Delhi.

During his visit, Singh met the Union Minister for Tourism, Culture, and Development Shri G. Kishan Reddy of the Government of India, to fortify cultural ties between Fiji and India.

The meeting primarily focused on establishing a robust collaboration to strengthen the cultural roots of the Indian diaspora population in Fiji.

Deeper cultural connections, fostering understanding, and appreciating the rich Indian heritage within Fiji’s multi-ethnic society were key points of discussion during the meeting.

A significant outcome of these discussion is the planned Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two nations.

This MOU will formalize the commitment to collaborative efforts in strengthening cultural bonds, initiating exchange programs, and promoting cross-cultural awareness.

Minister Charan Jeath Singh expressed optimism about the potential impact of this collaborative effort on fostering unity and celebrating diversity within Fiji.

The anticipated signed MOU is expected to pave the way for a new era of cultural collaboration, nurturing a vibrant and inclusive tapestry that reflects the shared heritage of the Indian community in Fiji.

The Ministry for Multi-Ethnic Affairs and Sugar Industry envisions that this milestone will lead to a lasting and positive impact on cultural unity and diversity in Fiji.
