Fiji will be welcoming the President of the Republic of Kiribati, Taneti Maamau, through a State visit this week.

He arrives today and will depart on Thursday.

In recognition of the importance of the longstanding relationship between Fiji and Kiribati, full State protocols will be accorded to Maamau throughout his stay in Fiji.

He will arrive in Fiji today with a range of key engagements scheduled during his visit, including a traditional ceremony of welcome, followed by a meeting with Fiji's Head of State, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.

His visit will continue with a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Sitiveni Rabuka.

The two leaders will have the opportunity to discuss a range of cooperation opportunities and will be an avenue to exchange views on how best the Pacific region can work closely to aptly navigate through emerging global challenges that have implications on national priorities.
