Reeves was appointed the Commonwealths Special Envoy to Fiji. He has already visited Fiji on two occasions and held discussions with the interim government and other political stakeholders.
Reeves was identified to chair the proposed President’s Political Forum. The special envoy had already prepared a terms a reference for the proposed forum and said to have forward a copy to the interim government.
What has happened between that time to now has put this man’s involvement into Fiji’s domestic political scene has been thrown out the door.
