Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday underlined India and Fiji’s shared vision for regional stability and global equity during a joint press conference with Fiji Prime Minister Sitiveni Ligamamada Rabuka at Hyderabad House.

Emphasizing the importance of maritime cooperation, Modi said, “We both believe in a free, open, inclusive, safe, and prosperous Indo-Pacific. The Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Oceans of Peace’ is a positive thought. India and Fiji may be oceans apart, but our aspirations sail in the same boat.”
