N.Z. aid for Fiji Pine Commission
NZPA-AAP Suva New Zealand, which, froze aid to Fiji last year, “melted” it a little recently with a cheque for $F418,000 ($434,720). The High Commissioner, Mr Rod Gates, handed over the cheque to the Finance Minister, Mr Josefata Kamikamica, for forwarding to the Fiji Pine Commission. Mr Gates said that be-
cause of the huge amount of effort and investment by New Zealand in the Fiji pine industry over the last 12 years, assistance to it was not suspended with other aid components last year. Since 1976 New Zealand has contributed SFI3 million ($3.52 million) to what is Fiji’s fastest-devel-oping export industry.
