Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka is on an official visit to New Zealand which marks 25 years since the last State visit from a Prime Minister of Fiji to New Zealand.

Rabuka will meet with New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta and Climate Change Minister James Shaw to discuss Fiji and New Zealand's bilateral relations and other issues of common interest tomorrow.

The Prime Minister says he is looking forward to meeting with his counterpart and members of his cabinet as New Zealand and Fiji share a long standing relationship, based on close cooperation in areas of mutual interest.

Rabuka will also meet with the Deputy Leader of Opposition Nicola Willis.

In a statement, Hipkins says he is also looking forward to reaffirming New Zealand's support as a trusted friend and bilateral partner to Fiji.

The government says other important issues of discussion will focus on regional defence and security and climate change, sports, culture and people-to-people links.

Rabuka will later participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park.

As traditional partners in the Pacific family, Aotearoa New Zealand and Fiji also aim to renew their commitment to building an inclusive, resilient, secure and sustainable future for our Blue Pacific Continent.
