SUVA, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Fijian nationals holding ordinary or official passports will no longer require a visa to enter Brazil following an agreement signed between the two countries.

Fiji's Ambassador to Brazil Cama Tuiloma signed the Visa Exemption Agreement on behalf of the Fijian government with Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs Aloysio Nunes Ferreira.

Acting permanent secretary of Fiji's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yogesh Karan, commended this new development on Sunday and highlighted the opportunities that a visa exemption agreement brings.

"Brazil and Latin America have enormous potential - as a destination for Fijians to visit and conduct business in. This is a milestone achievement for government because it allows Fijians to enter Brazil for these reasons without having to apply for a visa," Karan said.

"This development also allows easy travel to both countries by Fijians and Brazilians - boosting tourism and people-to-people exchanges and in the process, growing our bilateral relations," Karan added.
