First Interview With Fijian Prime Minister

For the first time Fijian Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase has allowed international journalists to interview him at his private residence in Suva.
TE HETERI reporter Jodi Ihaka and camera operator Patrice Hutchinson were invited to the Qarase home to discuss tribal politics and his vision for the future of Fiji.
