The Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs and External Trade, Hon. Lenora Qereqeretabua, received a courtesy call from His Excellency (Col) Johnny Sexwale (seh-KHWAH-lay), Non-Resident High Commissioner of South Africa to Fiji, this week at the Ministry’s headquarters.

H.E. Sexwale affirmed South Africa’s commitment to re-energise the partnership, which has spanned more than 31 years, that despite the geographical distance, Fiji and South Africa are close in spirit and shared aspirations.

The strengthening of ties with South Africa is seen as a gateway to broader engagement across the African continent and an opportunity to diversify Fiji’s economic partnerships.
