Samoa’s Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi says tougher trade sanctions against Fiji would make it difficult for the military regime to maintain its grip.
This is despite the Melanesian Spearhead Group comprising Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Fiji in a meeting last week in Port Vila calling for a lifting of Fiji’s suspension from the Pacific Island Forum.
The Samoan leader has told Radio Australia’s Pacific Beat economic action against his Pacific neighbour would have an impact.
“That’s important, eventually economic issues will bite some people into their senses,” he said.
