  The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Fiji reaffirmed their partnership yesterday, following a meeting between the non-resident Ambassador of the UAE, Rashed Matar Alsiri Alqemzi, and Fijian President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere.

Both countries have a lot to offer each other, and I'm excited to see what they can accomplish together.
