The Joint Working group is calling on the interim government to remain a member of the Working group.
This is after the interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama questioning whether there is any merit in Fiji continuing to engage with the Forum Fiji Joint Working Group.
In a statement, PNG High Commissioner and Joint Working Group Chairman Peter Eafeare said the Working group was created by the Forum Ministers at their meeting in March 2007 to look at the situation in Fiji and it has been instrumental in Fiji's preparation to hold democratic elections.
Eafeare also adds that the Forum would be disappointed to see this valuable channel for dialogue with the country closed.
Commodore Bainimarama through the Interim AG, informed the Forum Working Group that while the interim government is participating in the Forum Group on a genuine basis, the Group's position was insincere, hypocritical and unconstructive in moving Fiji forward.
