In a remarkable show of diplomacy and strong regional camaraderie, Prime Minister Honourable Sitiveni Rabuka was granted the highest ceremonial Guard of Honour upon his arrival at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta, Indonesia, this morning. The Prime Minister was warmly greeted by His Excellency the President of Indonesia, General (retired) Prabowo Subianto, who extended full state honors, which included a military parade, cavalry troops, and primary school students proudly waving the national flags of both nations.

During the inspection of the Guard, alongside President Subianto, ceremonial drums resounded, complemented by a 19-gun salute and the national anthems of Fiji and Indonesia echoing throughout the palace grounds. This grand event celebrated the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Fiji and Indonesia.


PM Rabuka expressed his sincere gratitude for the honor, describing it as "a heartfelt tribute not only to the friendship between our two nations but also to the spirit of regional solidarity that unites us." This ceremonial Guard of Honour is traditionally reserved for visiting Prime Ministers, highlighting Indonesia's profound respect and admiration for heads of government from abroad. #FijiGovernment #FijiNews #CoalitionGovernment #OfficialVisit #Indonesia #Fiji #TeamFiji
