The two sides highlighted prospects to deepen cooperation in building climate resilience, trade and economy, digitization, education and leadership, smart urbanization, and connectivity, among key initiatives supported under the Singapore Cooperation Program (SCP).

Qereqeretabua thanked Singapore's support to Fiji and their commitment to elevating cooperation with emphasis on Fiji's priorities in socio-economic sustainability and climate resilience.
