An allocation of $1.125 million has been made for the establishment of Israel Mission.
In February this year, Cabinet endorsed that Fiji’s Embassy in the State of Israel be located in Jerusalem.
Fiji and Israel established diplomatic relations in 1970 and forged partnerships across security and peacekeeping, agriculture and climate change.
In April, Fiji’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Ambassador Filipo Tarakinikini presented his credentials as the new non-resident Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Fiji to the State of Israel, to the President of the State of Israel, His Excellency Isaac Herzog.
The budgetary allocation now paves the way for the establishment of Fiji’s Embassy and the appointment of a new Ambassador.
