On March 21, 2025, Vice President Han Zheng met with Speaker of the Parliament of Fiji Filimone Jitoko in Beijing.
Han Zheng said that Fiji was one of the first Pacific Island countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. Over the past 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China-Fiji relations have stood the test of the changing international landscape and yielded fruitful results, and the two countries have become comprehensive strategic partners featuring mutual respect and common development. China is ready to work with Fiji to earnestly implement the important common understandings reached by the leaders of the two countries, carry forward the traditional friendship, and jointly celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. China is also willing to work with Fiji to deepen political mutual trust and firmly support each other's core interests and major concerns. Han Zheng called on both sides to create more cooperation outcomes and strengthen multilateral cooperation to promote the sustained and sound development of China-Fiji relations.
Filimone Jitoko said that adhering to the one-China principle serves as the cornerstone of Fiji-China relations. Fiji highly appreciates the major initiatives and visions put forward by President Xi Jinping, and is willing to continuously enhance political mutual trust with China, advance cooperation in such fields as infrastructure, poverty reduction and tourism, and deepen exchanges between legislative bodies and governments of the two countries, so as to deliver more benefits to the two peoples.
