Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama has indicated that he is interested in attending next years Pacific Trade Expo in Auckland.

Radio New Zealand reports that New Zealand Pacific Bussiness Council Chairman Gilbert Ullrich met with Commodore Bainimarama in Fiji last week and he is worried that tourism and trade numbers are dropping and would like to accompany the Fiji delegation to New Zealand.
Ullrich said the political issues are sensitive but must not affect trade if Fiji's economy is to improve.

New Zealand will host the Trade Expo in March next year.
