Faiz Khan has overseen huge upswings in profitability and performance at the Fiji Pine Group of Companies and Airports Fiji Ltd since he was appointed to chief both organizations.

The Prime Minister has said that in a lot of ways you represent the new Fiji and a new way of doing business, with the talents of all people utilized, regardless of where they’re from, what their ethnicity is, or who they know. I’d like to flip this around and ask: What does the ‘new Fiji’ represent to you?
The new Fiji is a place of equal opportunities, where talent is recognized and hard work is rewarded. Before you build a country’s infrastructure, you need to initial have good people. In order to do that you need to care for the people, build capacity and allow people to grow. That is the new Fiji.
Fiji has made remarkable economic evolution in recent years, with the increase in 2015 expected to exceed 4% for the third consecutive year. What do you see as the foundations of this ongoing positive economic performance?
