Fiji's interim Prime Minister to make brief visit to India

3:39 pm on 26 March 2009

Fiji's interim Prime Minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama is in India for a seven day visit.

It follows an earlier visit a year ago to inspect facilities at the Batra Hospital in New Delhi for overseas medical treatment for Fiji's Military Forces personnel.

During his brief stay the Commodore will take the opportunity to conclude discussions with the Government of India on the purchase of a property made available to Fiji for the construction of a Chancery in New Delhi.

The subject property has been offered to Fiji in view of the strong and deepening bilateral relationship between the two countries at a hugely discounted price.
