Fiji is a distant and charming land, attracting the noble adventures and romantics from all over the world since ancient times. The warm boundless ocean, soft sand gorgeous beaches, the hunched over palms under the weight of the fruits match amazingly to the perceptions of Fiji as Paradise Islands by the citizens of Russia. A unique “Bula Culture” of hospitality and neighborliness of indigenous people supplements this perception.
Bilateral relations between Fiji and Russia are gaining momentum. We are happy to facilitate in establishing new contact and business ties in all directions. Culture and education, agriculture and tourism, investments and innovations, and of course sport. This is not a full list of directions possessing of great potential to develop and expand.
