Maori Party determined to visit
The Maori Party appears determined to push ahead with a visit to Fiji and send a delegation including its most outspoken MP, Hone Harawira.
Harawira told Radio NZ that he remains defiant in his desire to come to Fiji, saying the deadlock between NZ and Fiji has to be broken.
Harawira said he would like to find a way to reduce the tension between the governments of NZ and Fiji.
The NZ Green MP, Keith Lock said he himself may look at travelling to Fiji with the same aim, and would whole-heartedly support the Maori Party delegation's visit.
Maori Party Co-Leader and Minister of Maori Affairs Peter Sharples said the trip to Fiji is likely to ahead.
The Maori Party will make the final decision on whether to come to Fiji within the next few days.
Meanwhile, Acting Prime Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum is yet to comment on the matter.
