The Fiji High Commission in New Zealand clarified that the individuals in question were part of a larger team representing diverse segments of New Zealand society. The High Commission acknowledged their professionalism, openness, and meticulousness. They emphasized that all security personnel for the Prime Minister were provided by the New Zealand Government and confirmed that the visit was conducted without any incidents, despite some adjustments to the schedule.
