In a bid to enhance the growing level of engagement between Fiji and the Philippines in terms of labour mobility, agriculture, security, drug trafficking, climate change, maritime and ocean affairs, the Philippines Government will establish an embassy in Suva.
Cabinet has endorsed a request from the Republic of Philippines to establish the embassy in Suva after the Philippines established diplomatic relations on 18th December 1973.
Currently, the Embassy of the Republic of Philippines in Wellington is accredited to Fiji while the Republic of Fiji Embassy in Jakarta is accredited to the Philippines.
The Cabinet says bilateral cooperation has also been extended through the assistance of the Honorary Consulate Offices respectively in Fiji and the Philippines.
