Fiji’s noble banner blue has always flown high at the international level. We have  enjoyed the status of a country with a population of less than a million, and as a  smaller island developing state, we have punched well above our weight  internationally. From the Chair of the G77, President of the United Nations (UN)  General Assembly, hosting of the climate COP, founding member of UN Law of the  Sea and the first President of the UN Ocean Conference, to mention a few, Fiji has  used its diplomatic presence to advocate for small Island states and their collective  rights.
