China hopes Fiji will continue ‘firm’ support for Chinese issues

State media says China hopes Fiji will continue to give ‘firm’ support on issues concerning Chinese core interests and major concerns, citing President Xi Jinping as saying to Fijian Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka.
Xi told Rabuka that China will continue to support Fiji in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, Chinese state television said.
Both leaders met at the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco on Thursday, where Xi told the Fijian leader that China is willing to work with the Pacific island nation to strengthen political mutual trust and expand practical cooperation.
China supports Fiji in independently choosing its own development path and achieving national development and revitalisation, Xi said.
