In the spirit of Pacific Vuvale, Fiji will be welcoming the President of the Republic of Kiribati, His Excellency Taneti Maamau, through a State Visit this week from Monday 27th to Thursday 30th January 2025.
In recognition of the importance of the longstanding relationship between Fiji and Kiribati, full state protocols will be accorded to His Excellency, President Maamau throughout his stay in Fiji.
President Maamau will arrive in Fiji today (27.01.25) with a range of key engagements scheduled during his visit, including a traditional ceremony of welcome, followed by a meeting with Fiji’s Head of State, His Excellency, President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.
His visit will continue with a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Sitiveni Rabuka.
The two leaders will have the opportunity to discuss a range of cooperation opportunities and will be an avenue to exchange views on how best the Pacific region can work closely to aptly navigate through emerging global challenges that have implications on national priorities.
The visit resonates with the friendship and cooperation established with Prime Minister Rabuka’s visit to Tarawa, Kiribati, in 2023 that reinvigorated the unity and solidarity of the Pacific Islands Forum family.
