DUAL citizenship is one of the main topics discussed by the New Zealand investors at the New Zealand Fiji Business Council (NZFBC) Trade and Investment Mission Seminar at Tanoa Plaza Hotel in Suva yesterday.

Fiji High Commissioner to New Zealand Filimone Waqabaca said dual citizenship was one of the highlights at the meeting where certain delegations from the business missions were former Fiji residents.

“It’s good that the businesses are here to tap into opportunities that are made available by the country taking into account that our economy is growing.
