PM TO Visit NZ In October?
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama plans to accept an invite to visit New Zealand to watch the All Blacks, reports a NZ news website.
It will be part of the warming of relations between two countries.
The Fairfax newspaper group’s widely ready Stuff website says it is understood Mr Bainimarama’s love for rugby means he will accept an invitation to go to Auckland’s Eden Park in October to watch the final Bledisloe Cup test between the All Blacks and Australia. The match is set for October 22.
Mr Bainimarama’s trip will be a reciprocal visit to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key’s visit here in June.
When the two leaders met in Suva in June, they exchanged sporting memorabilia.
Mr Bainimarama is the president of the Fiji Rugby Union.
Rugby has been a keen topic of discussion between Mr Bainimarama and Mr Key.
