Fiji’s Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama says a national roadmap will be launched by the government in the place of the Presidential Political Dialogue Forum.

Bainimarama told FijiLive the roadmap will be launched in a couple of weeks.

“There will be a political leaders meeting which will be used as a forum for government to launch a roadmap,” he said.

“My staff are working to put up something.”

He said the United Nations and Commonwealth will be invited to sit in the political forum discussion.

However, Bainimarama is yet to decide on when to have the meeting.

He had earlier written to the UN and Commonwealth to facilitate the Presidential Political Dialogue Forum talks.

In a letter to Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry this week, United Nations officials said they had not received any communication on the PPDF from the Fiji government since April 9 when the last meeting was held between the government and political parties in relation to the President's Political Dialogue Forum.

The UN said it remains available to discuss Fiji's return to constitutional democracy through early elections.
