The Prime Minister and Commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has advised members of the Third Fiji Infantry Regiment (3FIR) not to be easily moved.

Commodore Bainimarama reminded his men to focus on unity and togetherness which will help build a better Fiji while officiating at the Infantry Day celebrations in Labasa this morning.

The Commander also reminded his men to keep in mind his intent and to always remember his directives in every task that they carry out whether big or small in nature.

Commodore Bainimarama also urged his men to take advantage of the opportunity from the United Nations to increase the number of RFMF peace keepers in Iraq.

The Prime Minister highlighted the progress and development in rural areas that Government was trying to ensure the equal distribution of resources, something that was normally only confined to urban areas in the past.

Commodore Bainimarama also presented medals for meritorious service awards to 10 men of the Sukanaivalu Barracks.
