In a landmark event symbolising India-Fiji solidarity, Paul Jaduram MBE, Chair of the Labasa Town Council, alongside Indian High Commissioner P. S. Karthigeyan, inaugurated the new “Bharat Corner” at the Labasa Town Council Library.
This new resource centre aims to foster a knowledge exchange between India and Fiji, reflecting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to enhancing educational and cultural connections through his 12-Point Action Plan outlined at the recent FIPIC Summit.
The inauguration also included the opening of a Yoga Centre established with Vanua Levu Arya Samaj, furthering India and Fiji’s cooperation in preventive healthcare.
Speaking to the community earlier, Indian High Commissioner Karthigeyan expressed gratitude for the support of Labasa’s local leaders and residents, emphasising the importance of people-to-people ties.
“You provide the living bridge between India and Fiji. You have an important role in making sure that this relationship that goes back 145 years will further get strengthened as we enter into the knowledge era.”
