Fiji’s Government says there is no need to declare a State of Emergency, assuring the public that national security conditions remain stable following a high-level review.
The assurance follows a meeting of the National Security Council chaired by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, where key risks and national conditions were assessed.
“The Government wishes to make it clear that there is no need for a State of Emergency in Fiji at this stage.”
“This assurance follows a meeting of the National Security Council chaired by the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, and attended by senior Ministers and officials from key Government agencies,” the government said in a statement.
The National Security Council reviewed multiple areas including security, fuel supply and economic conditions.
“The Council reviewed a range of national security matters, including international developments, Fiji’s fuel supply position, economic and financial conditions, contingency planning, and the current law and order situation.”
Authorities said there is no recommendation for emergency measures.
“Based on advice from the Fiji Police Force and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, there is no recommendation for a State of Emergency, and the situation remains under control.”
Government also moved to calm public concern.
“The Government reassures the public that there is no cause for alarm.”
It said the meeting was part of routine monitoring and preparedness.
“The meeting forms part of the Council’s routine role to assess risks, coordinate preparedness, and ensure Fiji is ready to respond to any potential impacts from global or regional developments.”
On fuel supply, officials said stocks remain stable with shipments secured.
“Fuel remains available and stable, with confirmed shipments for May expected to meet normal national demand.”
“Work is ongoing with suppliers to confirm forward supply schedules for June, and fuel companies have reaffirmed their commitment to meeting contractual obligations.”
However, Government warned external factors could still affect prices.
“Fiji remains exposed to global price fluctuations driven by international conflict, shipping disruptions, refinery constraints, and global demand.”
“These factors may influence local fuel prices even when supply remains available.”
The National Security Council also confirmed financial stability.
“Fiji’s financial system remains stable, supported by strong foreign reserves and continued monitoring of inflationary pressures.”
“Current policy settings remain supportive of economic activity.”
Government said it is working to strengthen long-term energy security and Agencies are also preparing for any changes in conditions.
“Government continues to engage with international partners to strengthen energy security and supply resilience, including work toward a national fuel security and strategic reserves policy.”
“Relevant agencies are actively coordinating across essential sectors, including transport, energy, water, infrastructure, and maritime services, to ensure readiness should conditions change.”
The public is being urged to remain calm and rely on official updates.
