Afghan envoy to Fiji, HE Wahidullah Waissi, called on HE Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, Acting Prime Minister, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Anti-Corruption, Public Enterprises, Communications, Civil Aviation, Tourism, Industry & Trade of Republic of Fiji in his office in Suva on 25 April 2018.
Both sides discussed their nation's interest on shared global responsibilities and the challenges that small and land-locked countries are facing towards threats from security, global finance and climate change.
Ambassador Waissi emphasized on enhancing bilateral relationship in the areas of trade and finance. Afghanistan has the capacity to export its fine food products to Fiji that includes Saffron and Dry Fruits. Fiji is the largest sugar producer among the Pacific Islands. This could be a potential area of trade cooperation.
Afghanistan has short history of diplomatic relations with the Fijian Republic. It started in 2010 through both nation's permanent representative's efforts at the United Nation.
