Fiji’s interim Attorney General says a second political dialogue meeting will be called for next month to sort out the agenda and terms of reference for the impending President’s Dialogue Forum.

Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum made the statement as part of discussions with the United Nations and Commonwealth joint technical team.

Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said those talks surrounded technical issues in connection with the President’s Dialogue Forum including how to broaden the scope of those involved.

He says the interim Prime Minister is keen to gauge the views of political parties, NGO’s and civil society groups.

He told Fiji Live the second political dialogue would be held in the first or second week of March.
