New Zealand's Foreign Minister has issued a warning to Fiji not to underestimate the power of the Pacific Islands Forum Secetariat. Winston Peters has hinted at stronger moves against Fiji if it fails to honour an election promise given at the Forum in Tonga. Mr Peters says the University of the South Pacific is one example of an institution which is financed by a number of Forum member countries.
