Fiji's Interim Prime Minister will definitely attend the Pacific Islands Leaders Forum in Tonga later this year.

With sanctions being announced by NZ and Australia and continuous pressure to have early elections in Fiji, Commodore Frank Bainimarama said he is not bothered about what NZ Prime Minister, Helen Clark and her Australian counterpart, John Howard will say at the meeting.

Bainimarama said he will state his case on why Fiji needs to take a new direction.
