PM opens embassy in Brazil

Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama opened Fiji’s first ever mission in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil today.

While opening the new embassy the Prime Minister said that international co-operation and engagement is critical to achieving global understanding and peace and should not only be confined to nations close to Fiji.

He added that enhancing more global integration provides Fiji with more scope to address issues such as climate change and peacekeeping.

It also helps us as individual nations to achieve economic growth and economic diversification.

In the past year, Fiji has opened up resident missions in Indonesia and South Africa.

Fiji’s new ambassador to Brazil will be former Permanent Secretary of the Transport Ministry, Cama Tuiloma.
