The Fiji Australia Business Council plays a key role in promoting trade, investment and stronger business relationships between Fiji and Australia.
It provides a platform for businesses from both countries to establish connections, discuss common challenges and identify new commercial opportunities.
The council also works closely with governments and other stakeholders to strengthen bilateral economic ties and encourage greater private-sector engagement.
Ms Yee’s appointment comes as the council continues its efforts to support business collaboration and investment opportunities between the two countries.
