Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama has returned to the country after spending more than two months at a Melbourne hospital recovering from heart surgery.
Bainimarama announced his return on his official Twitter account this morning.
He thanked the Fijian people for their prayersand said there was "no better feeling than coming home to the family I love and the people I'm privileged to lead."
He went on to say his "mission is to keep Fiji going strong". The news also puts end to speculations that his health was deteriorating after his medical procedure.
Bainimarama returns ahead of a crucial election year, which is expected to be fiercely contested between him and former prime minister Sitiveni Rabuka.
