The Fiji High Commission, Wellington in New Zealand had the pleasure of hosting a delegation from the Fiji National University (FNU).

The delegation led by FNU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Unaisi Baba and senior university officials were warmly welcomed Fiji’s High Commissioner to New Zealand, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola.

As part of the visit, a presentation on the Mission’s history and work was delivered by Second Secretary Mr Josua Tuwere, offering valuable insights into the Fiji High Commission’s role in strengthening bilateral relations and supporting Fiji’s development interests abroad.

Following the presentation, productive discussions took place on opportunities to link Fiji National University with relevant institutions in New Zealand, with a view to enhancing FNU’s programme delivery and strengthening partnerships in education and training.

During their stay, they will engage with representatives from the New Zealand Government and academia, and will travel to other centres outside Wellington, including Palmerston North, before returning to Fiji in a week’s time.

The Fiji High Commission wishes the delegation every success in their engagements and looks forward to further collaboration in advancing educational ties between Fiji and New Zealand.
