India and Fiji pledge deeper trade, investment, and economic cooperation to strengthen the bilateral partnership.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Fiji’s Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka reaffirmed their commitment to enhance bilateral trade and investment during Rabuka’s official visit to India from August 24-26, 2025. The leaders underlined the “untapped potential” in trade ties and agreed to diversify portfolios and strengthen resilient supply chains.
India welcomed Fiji’s decision to grant market access for Indian ghee, a step expected to open more opportunities for Indian exporters. Both sides expressed intent to promote sectoral cooperation in agriculture, food processing, health, and small and medium enterprises.
To deepen financial and economic collaboration, new agreements were signed, including an MoU between Fiji Development Bank and India’s NABARD for rural development and agricultural financing.
Industry cooperation was also strengthened through a pact between the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation (FCEF) aimed at boosting commercial linkages. The leaders emphasized that expanded trade and investment will not only benefit both economies but also contribute to stronger Indo-Pacific partnerships.
