As nations with historic and present ties to oceans and marine resources, Fiji and Norway share a commitment to the protection of it.

The visit is anticipated to advance Fiji and Norway’s bilateral interests and explore cooperation on issues relating to sustainable development.

The Crown Prince will receive a traditional welcome later this afternoon at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva followed by a courtesy call to the President Major-General Retired Jioji Konrote and Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.

Fiji established its diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Norway in 1977.
