- Fiji has experienced many coups recently, in 1987, 2000, and 2006. Fiji has been suspended various times from the Commonwealth of Nations, a grouping of mostly former British colonies. It was readmitted to the Commonwealth in December 2001, following the parliamentary election held to restore democracy in September that year, and has been suspended again because of the 2006 coup, but has been readmitted a second time after the 2014 election. Other Pacific Island governments have generally been sympathetic to Fiji's internal political problems and have declined to take public positions. Fiji became the 127th member of the United Nations on 13 October 1970, and participates actively in the organization. Fiji's contributions to UN peacekeeping are unique for a nation of its size. A nation with a population of less than one million, it maintains nearly 1,000 soldiers overseas in UN peacekeeping missions, mainly in the Middle East. Since Fiji's independence, the country has been a leader in the South Pacific region, and has played a leading role in the formation of the South Pacific Forum. Fiji has championed causes of common interest to Pacific Island countries. Since 2005, Fiji has become embroiled in a number of disagreements with other countries, including Australia, China, New Zealand, South Korea, the United States, and Vanuatu. The country's foreign relations and diplomatic missions are maintained by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. (en)
- Les Fidji sont un État souverain depuis leur indépendance de l'Empire britannique en 1970. Aligné sur le bloc de l'Ouest des années 1970 aux années 2000, le pays développe depuis 2009, sous le gouvernement du Premier ministre Frank Bainimarama, une politique étrangère beaucoup plus active, diversifiant et approfondissant ses relations bilatérales et multilatérales avec les pays au-delà de l'Océanie et de l'Occident et participant de manière davantage prééminente aux organisations internationales.
