The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will continue its commitment to strengthen partnership with Fiji to significantly complement the aspirations of ICRC.

ICRC Head of Regional Delegation in the Pacific Vincent Ochilet made the revelation while recently paying a courtesy call to the Acting Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Yogesh Karan.

According to a Government statement, the meeting which is the first between Mr Karan and the new ICRC regional head provided an opportunity for Fiji to renew its commitment and explore ways to broaden partnerships with International Committee of the Red Cross through stronger engagements with the ICRC Regional Delegation in the Pacific.

Mr Karan thanked Mr Ochilet for the opportunity to hold initial discussions to enhance the development opportunities and cooperation between Fiji and ICRC.

The ICRC regional delegation in the Pacific is based in Suva, Fiji.

It covers 16 countries (Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu) and other territories of the Pacific.

Since its establishment in 1863, the ICRC’s objective has been to ensure protection and assistance for victims of armed conflict and strife.
