Sitiveni Rabuka Conferred Papua New Guinea’s Prestigious Order of Logohu

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has been conferred the Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu, one of Papua New Guinea’s highest national honours, during a ceremony at the State House yesterday.

The honour was bestowed by Sir Bob Dadae in recognition of Prime Minister Rabuka’s distinguished service in strengthening bilateral relations between Fiji and Papua New Guinea, as well as his leadership in advancing regional cooperation across the Pacific.

In accepting the award, Prime Minister Rabuka expressed his sincere gratitude to the Government and people of Papua New Guinea, particularly Prime Minister James Marape, for the recognition and warm hospitality extended to him and the Fiji delegation.

Prime Minister Rabuka said the award reflected the enduring friendship, shared Melanesian heritage, and longstanding partnership between the two nations.

“This honour is not mine alone, but one shared with the chiefs and the people of Fiji and all those who continue to work towards a stronger and more united Pacific family,” he said.

He reaffirmed Fiji’s commitment to deepening cooperation with Papua New Guinea and fellow Pacific Island nations on key regional priorities, including ocean governance, climate resilience, security, trade, and sustainable development.

The Order of Logohu is among Papua New Guinea’s highest national honours, recognising individuals who have rendered distinguished service to the nation and the wider Pacific region.
