FIJI: Travel blacklist not expected to affect NZ trade expo
Updated
Organisers of a Pacific Trade Expo in New Zealand say they don't anticipate any problems with a large Fiji delegation attending. The New Zealand Pacific Business Council says Fiji's presence at the expo in Auckland this march is vital to developing trade in the Pacific. Diplomatic tension between the two countries in the wake of the recent military coup has seen New Zealand impose a travel blacklist members of the interim government and their families. But New Zealand Pacific Business Council chairman, Gilbert Ullrich, says he's been assured that won't affect Fiji's presence at the trade expo.
Presenter: Bruce Hill
