Climate diplomacy: World powers and Pacific leaders are set to meet in Nadi from Oct 5–8 ahead of COP31 in Turkey, with Fiji pushing for 1.5°C, stronger climate finance, and ocean-focused action, including a Tuvalu retreat on sea-level impacts. Pre-COP attendance: Fiji expects around 36 ministerial-level representatives at the pre-COP discussions, aiming to narrow differences on trade response measures, the Mitigation Work Programme and the Global Goal on Adaptation. Ageing policy: Fiji is preparing a National Ageing Policy 2026–2035 after consultations across 13 provinces, with Cabinet consideration expected in October and an implementation plan already drafted. Economy outlook: The ADB cut Fiji’s growth forecast to 2.2% for 2026 and 1.9% for 2027, citing external headwinds despite resilient tourism arrivals. Agriculture support: Government says mechanisation for smallholders must focus on access—through hire services, contractors and equipment sharing—while repair and maintenance gaps remain a concern. Security and justice: Police are investigating a major cocaine evidence theft in Suva, where seized packages were reportedly replaced with wheat flour, prompting forensic testing and renewed scrutiny of those responsible.
