Students & Children - A good place to visit during Hibiscus Week


MINFO showcases services at GIRC

The Ministry of Information, National Archives and Library Services of Fiji is displaying all its services at the Government Information Referral Centre (GIRC) from today until Saturday  (August 22 to 27).

The Ministry of Information news services director Setaita Natai said this was an excellent opportunity for members of the public to become aware and familiarise themselves with the different sections of the ministry.

“The Ministry of Information is the government’s primary information agency which provides the link between Government, the media and the public,” Natai said.

“The ministry also has the responsibility of improving knowledge generation and distribution through the National Archives and Library Services of Fiji.”

Members of the public can expect services such as radio broadcast recorded programs, sales of DVDs regarding major government events and various activities from the Film and Television Unit’s archival collection, displays of books and photo exhibits regarding World War 2, the Solomon Campaign, the Malayan Campaign, indenture labour days, Independence Day, royal family visits, Commonwealth heads meeting and the first legislative sitting at the old parliament complex.

Staff of the Ministry of Information will man the booths during the week long exhibition and members of  public are urged to visit the GIRC and take advantage of the services on display.  

These services are in line with government’s commitment in trying to achieve improved and better service delivery to the people of Fiji.

The GIRC is centrally located at the former Fiji Visitors Bureau building in Suva.
