Frank Bainimarama said it was “wonderful” to meet with Ms Wong on Friday as she continued the Albanese Government’s charm offensive in the region.

“Fiji is not anyone’s backyard, we are a part of a Pacific family,” he said on Saturday.

“And our greatest concern isn’t geopolitics — it’s climate change.”

In a statement posted to the Fijian government’s Facebook page Mr Bainimarama said Anthony Albanese was to be “commended” for his “strong mandate” to do more to deal with climate change.
