Hon 'Akilisi Pohiva with Hon. Ratu Inoke Kubuabola, 29 January

Fiji’s Foreign Minister, Hon Ratu Inoke Kubuabola, arrived in Tonga today for an official visit with Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pohiva and Cabinet Ministers.

The brief visit is only for one day but is significant as it is the first official visit to Tonga by Ratu Kubuabola, who has been Fiji’s Foreign Minister since 2009.

The visit also reflects a re-normalized friendship after years of strained relations since the 2006 Fiji Coup.

In 2011, Tonga-Fiji relations were at its lowest after Ratu Tevita Mara, a high ranking Fijian officer accused of mutiny was given refuge in Tonga. A land dispute and ‘flag war’ over the Minerva Reef has also caused tensions.
