He will pay calls on the President of Fiji and is expected to meet with his Fiji counterpart Frank Bainimarama on Monday.

He will address a gathering at the University of the South Pacific as part of that institution's 50th Anniversary.

The Fiji government says the visit will build greater bridges of co-operation and solidarity between the Fijian and Samoan people.
