The Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed best wishes to Fiji’s newly appointed High Commissioner to the Independent State of Papua New Guinea (PNG) Mosese Tikoitoga and his team as they departed for PNG to take up their new diplomatic posting in Port Moresby.

Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs Dr. Lesikimacuata Korovavala congratulated High Commissioner Tikoitoga on his diplomatic posting and wished him and the team well on behalf of the Ministry.

Dr. Korovavala reassured the High Commissioner of the Ministry’s continuing support as they embarked on operationalising the work of Fiji’s High Commission.

Dr. Korovavala also highlighted the importance of Fiji’s bilateral relations with PNG and the potential opportunities to advance economic interactions and deepen cultural and regional cooperation.

High Commissioner Tikoitoga says he is proud to represent our nation and honoured to be entrusted by the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka and the Government of Fiji with the esteemed role of High Commissioner to PNG.

He says Fiji and PNG have shared longstanding relations which was established in 1976, and there is immense potential to further enhance the bilateral and regional cooperation through Fiji’s High Commission reopening in PNG.

Tikoitoga will be supported by the First Secretary Paulo Daurewa, and Ateca Mocenakete, as the Second Secretary.
