“ The visit went very well, certainly on our side, we pulled out all stops, red carpets everywhere and I’m very confident that the Fijian delegation enjoyed their time in Australia and certainly that your Prime Minister talks with my Prime Minister were very fruitful, very warm and very constructive”

He says that the Vuvale Partnership has consolidated the relationship that already exists.

Feakes says that this partnership will chart the way forward for the two countries.
