Modi was accorded a ceremonial guard of honour at the airport after which he attended the traditional welcome ceremony at Albert park.
“It is a new day and a new beginning in our relations with Fiji,” Mr. Modi said in a joint appearance with Mr. Bainimarama.
“Fiji could serve as a hub for stronger Indian engagement with Pacific Islands. I see this visit as an opportunity to renew an old relationship and lay the foundation for a strong partnership in the future,” he added.
Mr. Modi also addressed the Fijian Parliament, a first by a foreign leader, after parliamentary elections, during which he said that India was prepared to work with Fiji to build a “Digital Fiji”.
Fiji Prime Minister said Mr. Modi’s visit has laid the groundwork for “productive relationship” between the two countries.
