The Governments of Fiji and Lebanon formalised their diplomatic relations in a ceremony in New York recently.
The formal relationship was affected by a joint communiqué signed by Ambassador Nawaf Salam of Lebanon and Ambassador Peter Thomson of Fiji.
The Ministry of Information confirmed that the communiqué expresses the desire of the two countries in promoting the spirit of mutual understanding, developing friendship ties and diplomatic cooperation with each other.
