New Zealand says it stands in solidarity with the families of three Fijians who lost their lives during the Christchurch terror attack two years ago.
New Zealand's deputy high commissioner to Fiji, Michelle Padmore, said the government is committed to ensuring that NZ is diverse, inclusive and safe.
She spoke at the Meeraj-Un-Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam Jalsa (celebrating the life of Prophet Mohammed) at Lautoka's Jame Masjid on Monday, on the anniversary of the Christchurch attack.
Michelle Padmore said NZ is also committed to promoting the values of tolerance, of inclusion, of diversity and unity that Fiji and New Zealand both share.

She said two years from that horrific event, NZ shares the sorrows and grief of the atrocities that were committed on March 15, 2019.
Three Fijians - Imam Hafiz Musa Patel, Asraf Ali and Ashraf Ali - were among the 51 innocent people killed.
The late imam was chief priest at the Lautoka Jame Masjid for many years.
