He says he’s confident the level of engagement the two countries share in the areas of business, tourism, security and humanitarian and disaster response will continue to grow as a result of this renewed commitment.

He also took the opportunity to convey to Turnbull and his government a sincere appreciation for the support extended to Fiji during our COP23 Presidency in Germany last month.

Bainimarama says that despite Fiji’s COP journey ending this year, he’s confident that Fiji has Australia’s support for years to come.
