Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka has had to defer his official trip to China as he had a minor injury after a misstep at the Government Buildings earlier today.

Rabuka says he was looking at his mobile phone, trying to walk up the steps, he tripped and hurt his head.

He jokingly said from his official residence he does not know whether his head is hurt more than the door or the door hurt more than his head.

Rabuka says the doctor has asked him to come back for a review on Friday and they will change the dressing on his head.

He says there is slight blood stains on his shirt and a patch on his head, but there is nothing to worry about.
