Former Ambassador at Large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ioane Naivalurua has been appointed as Fiji’s new Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs Ratu Inoke Kubuabola said he is confident that Ambassador Naivalurua’s appointment will add more value and strengthen Fiji’s relations with the Chinese government and her people.

Kubuabola said the Ministry has put in place a selection process that Ambassador Naivalurua and other candidates had to go through, which included a face-to-face interview with a panel made up of senior Government officials and former diplomats.

With Ambassador Naivalurua’s stint as a diplomat and his vast experience as a career military officer who has served in peacekeeping duties overseas, the Ministry is optimistic that he will elevate Fiji’s bilateral relations with China to greater heights.
