The Pacific Islands Forum's deadline for Fiji's suspension is fast approaching, with Forum Chair and Premier of Niue Toke Talagi saying the currrent round of negotiations with Pacific leaders needs to be completed before deciding whether to proceed. At a special meeting in Papua New Guinea in January the leaders decided that unless Fiji took steps to return the country to parliamentary democracy it would be suspended on May the 1st.
