Indonesia has announced plans to open its embassy in Fiji signaling closer political links between the Pacific Island and Jakarta.
The visiting Indonesian Ambassador accredited to Fiji, Mr. Susanto Sutoyo, made the announcement in Suva when he met Prime Minister Mr. Laisenia Qarase.
Mr. Sutoyo says the new embassy would strengthen links between Indonesia and Fiji particularly in the area of trade and training in agriculture.
The Indonesian envoy also acknowledged Fiji's shift towards a Malaysian model of "positive discrimination" towards the country's indigenous peoples.
