This year, 2021, marks the golden jubilee of diplomatic relations between Fiji and Korea.
The two countries officially established diplomatic ties on January 30, 1971 soon after Fiji gained independence in October 1970.
Over the past half century, Korea and Fiji cultivated precious friendship and expanded co-operation in various areas, which thus far has borne plenty of fruits.
Being awarded a warm welcome, I arrived in Fiji in December last year as new ambassador of Korea.
Fiji is well-known to Korea as the hub of economy, tourism and transportation among the Pacific Islands countries.
