Fiji’s efforts to modernise its ports and strengthen maritime connectivity have received further support from Australia, India, Japan and the United States (Quad), opening opportunities to improve trade, investment and access to international markets.

The Government of Fiji has welcomed the Quad’s continued commitment to work with Fiji under the Quad Ports of the Future Partnership, as highlighted in a joint statement following the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held on the margins of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.

The partnership aims to advance port infrastructure modernisation, with key benefits including:

• Improving port infrastructure and maritime connectivity.
• Strengthening Fiji’s trade competitiveness and access to regional and international markets.
• Supporting business growth, trade and investment opportunities.
• Enhancing Fiji’s role as a regional hub for maritime trade.

Minister for Foreign Affairs and External Trade, Hon. Sakiasi Ditoka, expressed Fiji’s appreciation to the Quad partners for their continued support towards high-quality infrastructure development aligned with Fiji’s national priorities and the wider Pacific region.

“Through continued cooperation, we can advance infrastructure development, support sustainable economic growth, strengthen regional integration and contribute to a more connected, resilient and prosperous Pacific,” Minister Ditoka said.

The partnership reinforces Fiji’s commitment to strengthening international cooperation and developing modern, resilient infrastructure that supports long-term economic growth and regional connectivity.
