Fiji's prime minister Frank Bainimarama has backed down on his refusal for the country to participate in the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), but says he will not personally attend meetings until the "undue influence" of Australia and New Zealand is addressed.
The intergovernmental forum suspended Fiji in 2009 for failing to return the country to democracy after a Bainimarama-led 2006 coup.
