The Government has assured the public that there is no need to declare a State of Emergency in Fiji at this stage, following a meeting of the National Security Council.
In a statement, the Council—chaired by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka—reviewed key national security matters, including global developments, fuel supply, economic conditions, contingency planning, and the law and order situation.
Based on advice from the Fiji Police Force and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, authorities confirmed the situation remains under control with no recommendation for emergency powers.
“The Government reassures the public that there is no cause for alarm,” the statement said.
On fuel supply, the Council was advised that stocks remain stable, with confirmed shipments for May expected to meet normal demand. Discussions are ongoing to secure supply schedules for June, while fuel companies have reaffirmed their commitments.
However, Government acknowledged that as a fuel-importing nation, Fiji remains vulnerable to global factors such as conflict, shipping disruptions, refinery constraints and demand shifts, which could impact local prices.
The Council also noted that Fiji’s financial system remains stable, supported by strong foreign reserves and ongoing monitoring of inflation.
Authorities said contingency planning continues across key sectors including transport, energy, water, infrastructure and maritime services to ensure readiness if conditions change.
The Government has urged the public to remain calm, continue normal activities, and rely only on official information sources.
