Courtesy Visit

The New Zealand High Commissioner to Fiji H.E. Charlotte Darlow paid a courtesy call on the Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew yesterday.

Although it was not her first official visit to the Fiji Police, it was her first visit to the Acting Commissioner since he took up office earlier this year.

H.E. Ms Darlow used the opportunity to acknowledge the Fiji Police’s support towards the New Zealand Police Senior Advisors who are in Fiji implementing the Fiji Police Partnership Programme working on the empowerment of police officers in the Development of Investigative Interviewing Capability, Development of General Patrol capability (K9), Asset Recovery Support and Development of Leadership and Governance capability.

“I’m privileged to have gained an appreciation and understanding on the ground of Fiji’s significance as a regional hub. Our work is all about making connections work, to come in and be involved in terms of building regional partnerships”.

She went on to say, “We’re excited with the next stages of our partnership and we want to say thank you for making our team feel welcomed”.

The Acting Commissioner also conveyed the organisation’s appreciation for the long standing support towards the Fiji Police and other law enforcement partners in the region.

Also attending the meeting was the New Zealand Police Senior Liaison Officer (Pacific) Superintendent Glyn Rowland, FPPP Team leader Senior Advisor Mark Pakes and FPF Director International Relations Senior Superintendent of Police Ulaiasi Ravula.
