Fiji's Immigration Director Commander Viliame Naupoto stressed that politics should never be mixed with immigration matters to pressure a country.
Commander Naupoto is disappointed that the US State Department recently ranked Fiji as a country which is not doing anything about human trafficking, sex trade and forced labor.
He said this report was publicised to the world without even having discussions with him as the Director of the Immigration department.
Commander Naupoto said human trafficking and smuggling has one of the biggest penalties in Fiji and he does not understand how the US State department made its conclusion.
