𝐒𝐮𝐯𝐚, 𝐅𝐢𝐣𝐢 – The U.S. Embassy in Suva and the Fiji National University (FNU) today begin the Executive Public Leadership Course.
The programme will be officially launched on 17 June and will feature the Honourable Prime Minister of the Republic of Fiji, Sitiveni Rabuka; U.S. Embassy Suva Chargé d’Affaires, John Degory; FNU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Unaisi Nabobo-Baba; and other officials from both nations, underscoring the strategic importance of this partnership and its contribution to the shared interests of Fiji and the United States.
The course is a strategic educational initiative that builds on the State Partnership Program between the U.S. state of Nevada’s National Guard and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, which was established in 2019. This course brings world-class leadership education to military and civilian leaders from Nevada and Fiji at the FNU’s Nasinu Campus, College of Business, Hospitality, and Tourism Studies (CBHTS). The inaugural course will run from June 15-26.
Chargé d’Affaires John Degory noted that this class comes at a historic moment: “As the United States celebrates 250 years of Independence this year, we reflect not only on our founding ideals of liberty, democracy, and freedom, but look forward to building a future with even stronger partnerships across the Blue Pacific that the United States and Fiji call home. This leadership course embodies the forward-looking, optimistic spirit of the U.S.-Fiji relationship and will foster even greater cooperation between our nations in the future.”
