Last week New Zealand’s foreign affairs minister, Nanaia Mahuta, visited Fiji for the signing of the Duavata Partnership: Aotearoa Whenua Manapori o Whiti Tauaki Mahitahi agreement promising a “shared commitment and vision for regional solidarity” with Fiji.
Today, NZ Government has donated a further 50,000 Covid paediatric doses and 50,000 Rapid Antigen Tests - taking the total budget support package to Fiji to over $100 million. "This donation also reaffirms New Zealand's commitment to the Duavata Partnership with Fiji, (signed in Suva last week) and ongoing support to vaccination efforts in the Pacific." Associate Health Minister Aupito William Sio said.
