McLaren driver de la Rosa joined Force India for a two-day test at Barcelona this week, prompting speculation that he might be in line for a racing seat next year.
Force India have signed a deal with McLaren and Mercedes for next season, and the British team said they would make suggestions about drivers.
Force India boss Vijay Mallya had said before the agreement was announced that both Fisichella and teammate Adrian Sutil would be retained.
The Italian said he has a contract signed for 2009 and admitted he was not concerned about his future.
"I'm not worried, I don't think there will be any problem for me," Fisichella told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I have a signed contract for another year and Vijay Mallya has announced that the 2009 drivers will still be myself and Sutil."
De la Rosa hinted, however, that a deal was still possible for him.
"Whatever comes, it will come. My job is to test with McLaren and I'm very grateful for having tested a Force India," the Spanish told the EFE news agency.
"It has been two very intense days and I tested a million things. My experience tells me I can't rush things or build my hopes up."
