Foreign Policy

Fiji's foreign policy balances its traditional partnerships with Australia and New Zealand with growing engagement with China, which has become a major aid and investment partner. After Western criticism of its 2006 coup, Fiji deepened ties with China and Russia, though democratic restoration has rebuilt Western relationships.

Fiji positions itself as the voice of Pacific Island nations in global forums, particularly on climate change and ocean governance.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Fiji, lead the Pacific Islands bloc and make climate change your defining issue. Your COP23 presidency gives you institutional credibility on climate diplomacy.

Leverage your peacekeeping record to build credibility on security issues. Coordinate with AOSIS and other SIDS on ocean and climate priorities. Balance relationships with Australia/New Zealand and China -- Fiji benefits from competition for Pacific influence. Push for loss and damage funding and 1.5-degree targets.
