A permit has been granted for a 27 member group of Methodist church followers from Nevada, California to hold a meeting in the country later this week.

Acting general secretary of the church, Reverend Tevita Nawadra said they are grateful to the authorities for giving the green light however they have to abide with the rules of the permit.

Meanwhile Police Operations Director, SSP Rusiate Tudravu said the church is well aware that no political issues are to be discussed during the meetings.

The group includes members from the 10 churches around California who will arrive this Saturday and expected to have bilateral discussions with church leaders and members of the Methodist church in Suva and the West.

The group is expected to make a courtesy visit to the President and the Prime Minister's office.

The group will depart Fiji on the 25th of this month.
