The Prime Minister is determined that the government will continue on the path to implement all the electoral changes and reforms before Fiji goes to elections.
Commodore Frank Bainimarama said he knows that the pressure is mounting from the Commonwealth, the EU, the Pacific Islands Forum, NZ and Australia.
However, he said this will not deter his government even when funding from the EU and other agencies may be pulled out.
Bainimarama also knows the Commonwealth will suspend Fiji soon but he said this will not change anything as far as Fiji's return to democracy is concerned.
While speaking to Fijivillage in Canberra, Australia's Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Affairs Duncan Kerr said they still want to engage with Fiji but strict timelines should be agreed to by all parties.
