The Embassy of the Republic of the Fiji Islands in Beijing has extended its services on the World Wide Web by launching its Website www.fijiembassy.org.cn Friday, March 7th, in Beijing.

Cai Jinbiao, Deputy Director General - Department of North America &Oceania Affairs, Foreign Ministry of China, officially launched the Embassys Website, in the presence of more than 50 guests, that included representatives from Chinese Foreign Ministry, Foreign Trade & Economic Cooperation, Agriculture, Fisheries, Education, Tourism, Pacific Island Countries (PIC) Diplomatic Corps, Pacific Islands Forum Trade Officials, Travel Service, Local Media, NGO's and the small Fijian Community in Beijing.

A general summation of the Fiji-China relations is also provided with the Embassy's role on the Consular services.

During the special function of the launching the website, His Excellency Ambassador Luke Ratuvuki said that today's occasion will bring Fiji and the Pacific closer particularly to the People of China.

Ratuvuki said by having on-line Internet presence will not only mean operating from 8.30am to 5.00pm. 5 days a week but accessing Fiji's info. 24 hours a day and 7 days a week from anywhere in China and globally.

The People's Republic of China is huge and vast, 9 million sq. km in area with 1.3 billion people as compared to Fiji's 18,000 sq. km land area with 700,000 people. Practically incomparable and without web-link we will remain isolated.

Ambassador Ratuvuki stated that the biggest hurdles of languages can only be simplified with "bilingual simultaneous interpretation clearly written and accessible".

One of the highlights of the website is the link to other websites, organisations such as PIFTO (Pacific Island Forum Trade Office), Chinese news media --- China Daily, People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency with Government of Fiji, Fiji Live and Fiji Village sites for easy access not only to the Chinese but also to Fiji and other Pacific Island viewers.
