03:52

On Leaders Talk, Fijian Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka sheds light on China's increasing influence in the South Pacific, which has some Western nations, like Australia, scrambling to "maintain control." Despite accusations from the West, Rabuka emphasizes Fiji's independent foreign policy and friendship with China. He dismisses fears of Cold-War-style confrontations, pointing out that Fiji, like many Pacific Island nations, seeks peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit rather than being pawns in a geopolitical tug of war.
