Government and Military spokesman Major Neumi Leweni today said that foreign media representatives are most welcome to visit Fiji under the current public emergency regulations.
“In fact, Government has not stopped foreign media representatives prior to the emergency regulations and even under the current circumstances. They are most welcome to visit Fiji.
"What is important is for them to understand Fiji’s situation and to report accurately and responsibly,” Major Leweni said.
“It is also important for the foreign media to come and see for themselves that life in the country is moving on as normal, and that the Government and the people of Fiji are together making significant changes for the better.”
He said the current procedure is that foreign media representatives apply firstly to the Permanent Secretary for Information specifically stating the reason and the dates of their visit.
The Permanent Secretary will endorse the applications based on how they have reported about Fiji in the past, if they have, or on the undertaking that they will report accurately and responsibly.
The applications are then forwarded to the Director of Immigration who will process them in accordance with normal immigration procedures.
Major Leweni said it is the current practice in any other country that foreign journalists who breach their visa conditions are asked to leave the country.
“Fiji is no exception,” he said.
“Journalists who have been deported breached their visa conditions and would not be allowed back into the country.”

NEWS WORTHY COMMENTS BY YOU!
Few weeks ago Coup 4.5 reported the saga between Fiji One's Satish Narayan and Bainimarama's daughter. Yesterday June 17, 2013 Satish Narayan received his walking papers from Fiji One.
It is understood that Bainimarama called a board member of Fiji One, Padam Lala and told him if Fiji One wants their License in tact, they will have to sack Satish Narayan.
Padam Lala instructed Tarun Patel to sack Satish Narayan immediately, If Patel wanted to keep his job.
The employees of FBC were told of the firing of Narayan way before the employees of Fiji One were made aware of.
Lets hope that Fiji One will not find themselves as part of the FBC in near future. on Burrow: ITUC will push for Commission of Inquiry on Fiji
@2:36 what illegal AG go underground sorry!!! too late.Mr Illegal AG your file is within the military Intel not with Rokoura(PM's office) whom you paid to hide and destroyed files against you that went straight to PM.
Anything against you that son of Neel sharma in HR RFMF rings the bell to Aziz, then you meant to let the complaint follow the channel where you intercept all files against you at PM's office thru Rokoura who hide and destroyed them and you know what he forges PM's singnature on some files and put a [FA]File Away notice on it.

Editor, we learn from a Fiji Times report that Minister for Housing, Environment, Local Government and Urban Development Colonel Samuela Saumatua has resigned "for personal reasons" according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Information yesterday (FT 18/6).
Be that as it may, my question is why should the Attorney-general Aiyaz Saiyad-Khaiyum "assume the position om an acting basis until a successor was appointed"?
Is Mr Khaiyum the only capable man in the illegal military regime in Fiji? Doesn't he have enough portfolios already?
What would this new addition take the total number of portfolio being handled by this Fiji superman? sincerely, rajend naidu sydney on Burrow: ITUC will push for Commission of Inquiry on Fiji
