Korea reassures its commitment to increasing relations and cooperation with the Pacific, including Fiji.
This was highlighted by the Korean Ambassador to Fiji, Park Young-kyu while paying a courtesy visit to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation, Viliame Gavoka, and the Assistant Minister, Alitia Bainivalu.
Young-kyu also shared Korea’s plans to host the first Korea-Pacific Islands Summit in 2023.
He adds that during the first half of the year, Korea also intends to have a private-sector business delegation to Fiji to promote not only government-to-government but business-to-business relations.
Meanwhile, Gavoka says this is just the beginning for them; they are longtime friends with lots of opportunities to look forward to.
He shared the Government of Fiji’s commitment to growing the over 50-year friendship and cooperation Fiji shares with Korea.
The Minister and Ambassador further discussed the possibility of resuming direct flights between Fiji and Korea given the changing Korean market demographics.
