Ambassador Luke Daunivalu

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has told parliament that he has chosen Ambassador Luke Daunivalu to assume the job of Chief Negotiator for COP23 replacing Ambassador Nazat Shameem Khan because Daunivalu is a team player and has the leadership skills for the job.

Bainimarama says there was a need to refine the COP 23 team to meet the change in demand of the Presidency.

The Prime Minister says that he has come to the view that because they are moving to a new phase of the Presidency in the talanoa dialogue, there was a need for a rejuvenated team unquestionably willing to work with all members of the COP 23 team

He says to meet the challenge, he has decided that they needed to make a change to the Fijian Delegation at COP to have the most integrated and dedicated team possible to maximize the chances of the dialogue succeeding and that is why Ambassador Daunivalu was chosen to replace Ambassador Khan for the remaining term.
