    Fijian President Ratu Wiliame Maivalili Katonivere, along with first lady Filomena Katonivere, attended the event and gave a speech, in which he said that the Lantern Festival is an important time to celebrate with families as the lanterns play a titular role in lighting the path ahead, signifying light, hope and good fortune.

    "I wish to encourage and express to the Chinese Community in Fiji our appreciation for your numerous contributions and achievements and I wish to encourage the community to continue to grow and to contribute to the developments that will bring hope and common good for everyone," Fijian President Katonivere said.
