Fiji sits at the heart of the Pacific, a region critical to global security, trade and climate resilience.
In Suva, I met leaders and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat to strengthen our partnership and advance joint work on climate action and regional security. 🇬🇧🇫🇯

A secure and stable Pacific helps keep the UK safe.
Good to discuss defence, maritime security and shared prosperity with Prime Minister Rabuka on board HMS Tamar, including protecting shipping routes and upholding international rules at sea.

With Fiji set to bring world-class rugby to the UK next year, our partnership is going from strength to strength.
Great to meet Foreign Minister Dikota to discuss expanding trade opportunities and our ongoing collaboration through the UN and the Commonwealth. 🇬🇧🇫🇯

Great to see @FCDOGovUK back chairing the @MediaFreedomC ! Now more than ever we need more a media which is strong and independent!
The United Kingdom is the new co-chair of the Media Freedom Coalition!
The UK joins Finland as co-chair, and succeeds
Germany which has completed its two-year term.

Congratulations #Fiji on hosting an excellent @commonwealthsec Law Ministers Meeting - important moment to reaffirm commitment to rule of law. Wonderful Pacific hospitality coupled with Fiji’s own recent history attesting to reaffirmation of Commonwealth values.

In #Fiji, splashing water on #NewYear is more than just fun - it’s a symbolic cleansing, washing away the challenges of the past year to make room for the new.
At its heart is the joy of bringing the community together. I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful team at the British High Commission - I can’t wait to work with them all to advance #UK, #Fiji and #Pacific interests in 2026! 🇬🇧🇫🇯

Kicking off 2026 the Fijian way with good humour, good company and a splash of New Year cheer!
High Commissioner Kanbar Hossein Bor wishes everyone a bright and blessed New Year.

Honoured to attend an event commemorating #Fiji’s contribution to United Nations peacekeeping in Iraq. #UNAMi I remember serving with Fijians during my own time in Iraq.
We remember those who served with courage and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Fiji’s commitment is extraordinary - the highest per-capita contributor to UN peacekeeping in the world. 🇫🇯🕊️#Peacekeeping

Last night, we joined Empower Pacific and the Hon. Minister for Women at a candlelight vigil marking the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.
The High Commissioner reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to end violence against women and girls globally.

On #WorldAIDSDay, sharing the recent news of the UK's FJD $2.5bn pledge to the Global Fund which will help save lives and fight HIV, TB and malaria worldwide.
This funding will save lives across the Pacific. Already in 2025, the Global Fund has committed US $1m here in Fiji.

Over 200 years ago, a boy in #Rugby changed the world. 10,000 miles away, boys in #Fiji followed his footsteps. Their flair & passion lifting #FijiRugby to the global stage - and next summer in 🇬🇧 Fiji can showcase to the world all the talent this beautiful country has to offer. My thoughts below:

“If safety is the ground, being empowered would be the wings.”
The UK has set a national mission to halve violence against women and girls, yet this is also an international emergency.
Working with partners like @IFAD and ambassadors like @SabrinaDhowre, the UK is committed to tackling violence at home and overseas.
