Fijian Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has sent a congratulatory message to Nauruan President Baron Waqa on Nauru's 47th anniversary of independence, the Fijian government announced Monday.

Extending the well wishes on behalf of the government and people of Fiji, Bainimarama said that as neighboring Pacific small islands developing states, Fiji and Nauru have enjoyed cordial and meaningful bilateral relations in various aspects of cooperation, according to Fiji's Department of Information.

"I am confident that the affectionate relations that our two countries share have strengthened in recent years in mutual recognition of the potential of joint solutions for the emerging challenges ahead, as we unite in ensuring a more resilient Pacific community," the Fijian prime minister said.

"We can both look forward to the prevailing goodwill at all levels of our two societies to further flourish as we consolidate our existing partnership in the sustainable development of our peoples," added Bainimarama.
