The two day trip helped, we now just have to be patient.

Those were the sentiments of Commonwealth Envoy Sir Paul Reeves in an interview with Radio New Zealannd, about his visit to Fiji to discuss the country's political future.

Reeves said while the visit did not change the stance of the Fiji government, it was worthwhile because it helped establish relationships which will assist future discussions.

Reeves added the Commonwealth still has a role to play in bringing democracy to Fiji.
