The point, which is being made here, is that most countries have realised the necessity for some form of closer collaboration in addressing the global challenges which lie ahead. Our countries, which are among the smallest in the international community, and which have already made substantial progress in this area, must increase the level of collaboration significantly.
Looking ahead, I can see immense opportunity for the industry. Fiji’s growing economy has resulted in a wider consumer base and, importantly, today’s automobile industry needs to strike the right balance between meeting customer product demands, minimizing costs and their impact on the economy and protecting environmental standards.
