BANNED FIJI SOLDIER MAY FILL DIPLOMATIC POST

SUVA (Fijivillage.com/Radio NZ/Pacific Media Watch): Fiji has proposed sending a senior military figure banned from entering New Zealand as its special counsellor to this country.
The Fijivillage website is reporting that the permanent secretary for the Ministry of Information, Lieutenant-Colonel Neumi Leweni, has been suggested for the position.
Lieutenant Colonel Leweni is the military's spokesperson.
Fiji and New Zealand agreed two weeks ago to send representatives to each other's capitals to improve diplomatic relations.
Fiji had expelled New Zealand's top diplomat in November, prompting this country to send home Fiji's high commissioner.
The interim regime in Suva is strongly opposed to New Zealand's policy of refusing entry visas to Fiji coup leaders and their associates.
