Hundreds turned up at the Suva Military Cemetery this morning to attend the ANZAC Day Dawn Service.
Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and Minister for Home Affairs Pio Tikoduadua laid a wreath each, as did members of the diplomatic corps.
Australia’s Charge d’Affaires Stuart Watts highlighted that Australia pays tribute to its Fijian defence partners, with whom it has special bonds and is honoured and proud to call “Vuvale”.
New Zealand High Commissioner Charlotte Darlow shared similar sentiments, saying being part of the service brought a shared sense of unity, comradeship, and collective security.
She adds that it is important to remember that today’s peace comes from the hard work and sacrifice of previous generations.
