Under the collaboration, the Japanese Consortium of Nippon Koei Co. Ltd., Koei Research & Consulting Inc., and the Japan Weather Association will be consulting on the prospective development.

This follows the initial agreement between two bilateral ties, where Japan is committing $27 million toward the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility for regional meteorological operations and disaster risk management.

The Fiji Meteorological Service has confirmed that preparatory work for the new facility is underway.
