The Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Hayashi Yoshimasa, will be visiting Fiji tomorrow.

Yoshimasa is the second Japanese Foreign Minister to visit Fiji recently, following the historic visit of the former Japanese Foreign Minister, Kono Taro, in 2019, which marked the first visit to Fiji by a Japanese Foreign Minister in over 32 years.

During his visit, Yoshimasa will meet Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama.

A statement on the Fijian Government Facebook Page says the bilateral meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss current areas of partnership and areas of future cooperation between Fiji and Japan.

Yoshimasa will also be visiting the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat followed by a visit to the Fiji Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Services Centre.

Fiji and Japan established diplomatic relations in 1970.

The statement also says recently, Japan’s assistance to Fiji has extended to our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, disaster recovery and rehabilitation, and economic revitalization.
