USA Comes To Fiji

“ In line with President Barak Obama the 2010 Nobel Peace recipient’s policy of engagement, the superpower USA has prudently decided to set up the aid agency USAID in Fiji for the Pacific region, and our members and supporters are delighted by this positive outcome, said Alton Shameem JP the New Zealander- Native Fijian Community Leader, Founder, Chairman and President of and President of Fiji Club of New Zealand (FCNZ), Young Executive Club (YEC) , All Ethnic Congress (AEC) and the New Zealand Association of Certified Public Accountants (NZACPA) in Takapuna, North shore City, Auckland the City of Engagement.

“As Fiji has a stable, progressive, safe and popular government and is the hub of the Pacific and to the counter the influence of other superpowers and nations, President Barack Obama has shown foresight, vision and leadership by establishing the USAID Agency in the friendly and vibrant Fiji with its entire infrastructure strongly in place.

It is now time for our country New Zealand and Australia to take the strong, loud and clear cue from USA, other superpowers and nations and follow suit by engaging and helping Fiji, the Pacific region and internationally to move forward “said Alton Shameem JP the New Zealander-Fijian Civic, National and International Leader, Founder, Chairman and President of Fiji Club of New Zealand (FCNZ), Young Executive Club (YEC), All Ethnic Congress (AEC) and the New Zealand Association of Certified Public Accountants (NZACPA).
