The South Pacific island country of Fiji announced recently that its first embassy in Israel will open next year.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen welcomed the announcement, calling Fiji a “true friend” of Israel.
“I congratulate the Fijian government on an important decision that will strengthen and deepen the relations between the two countries,” said Cohen.
“Fiji has proven in recent years that it is a true friend of Israel in the international arena as well. The opening of the Fijian embassy brings us another step closer to the goal we set of 100 embassies in Israel,” said Cohen.
Fiji’s will be the 98th embassy to the Jewish state. Most of the embassies are located in Tel Aviv, with the rest in the capital Jerusalem.
“Increasing the number of embassies in Israel proves Israel’s value to the world and the desire to access our capabilities in the fields of innovation, economics and science,” said Cohen.
Fiji has “maintained amicable relations with the State of Israel, through bilateral cooperation on peace and security, and areas such as agriculture,” said Rabuka.
