PS Dr Taga Meets the Team at Fiji High Commission in NZ

Fiji’s High Commissioner in Wellington, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola and staff of the Fiji High Commission in NZ were honoured to welcome, the Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs and External Trade Dr. Raijeli Taga and Director Finance, Mr Luke Ravusoni.

The High Commission presented an overview on Fiji – NZ Bilateral Relations, which includes support programmes; Defence and Policing programmes, Labour Mobility scheme Programme, Trade and investment initiatives and engagements with our Fijian diaspora.

The visit created an opportunity for the Permanent Secretary to personally visit the 4 mission properties and see areas of urgent assistance that needs support from the headquarters. An opportunity was also given to our Trade officers based in Auckland to present on their areas of priority.

At the outset of the visit, there were discussions on the Mission’s intentions to set up a Fiji Consulate Office in Auckland that would provide a one stop shop for Trade assistance, Consular services and also house our Recognised Seasonal Employer [RSE] Liaison Officer that looks after our Fijian RSE workers throughout locations in New Zealand.

The Mission will continue to improve on its service delivery and represent the Fiji Government’s interest in New Zealand through promoting people to people relations and support to consular services to the more than100,000 Fijian Diaspora in Aotearoa.
