Malaysia’s support has been seen as vital for the overall development of Fiji even before the coup, for instance via the initiatives under South-South and Triangular cooperation known as MTCP and MDCP since 1993. Later, the conditions in Fiji can be considered started to get calm again and many of the sanctions are lifted and Fiji able resumed its membership in the regional and international organisation and maintained the cooperation under Look North Policy. This also signifies that, Malaysia-Fiji relations still continue despite some political upheavals in Fiji by utilising several initiatives.
