Netanyahu Praises Fiji’s Peacekeeping Contribution and Climate Advocacy During Jerusalem Meeting Marking the end of an eventful tour of the Middle East, Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama met with his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, in Jerusalem to discuss Fiji’s outsized global leadership in preserving peace and protecting the climate.
Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Bainimarama for the longstanding contribution that Fiji has made towards United Nations Peacekeeping in the region, and said that he looks forward to visiting Fiji in the future.
The two leaders discussed growing bilateral relations and the strengthening bond between Israel and Fiji, and Prime Minister Bainimarama thanked Israel for its support in its ongoing fight against climate change.
“Both terrorism and climate change are forces that no one nation can fight alone,” said Bainimarama. “Israel and
Fiji proudly stand together in taking on these common enemies –– battles that are absolutely critical to preserving and protecting this beautiful planet that we have been blessed with.”
PM shared warm wishes on behalf of all Fijians, who he says share a special bond with Israel because so many Fijian troops and their families have spent time in the country and share lasting memories and friendships with the Israeli people.
