KEY POINTS:
Neither Prime Minister Helen Clark nor Australian Prime Minister John Howard is banned from Fiji, says the acting head of the Fiji Prime Minister's Office, Parmesh Chand.
Nor is Foreign Minister Winston Peters, he said.
Mr Chand is himself banned from New Zealand along with other senior officials.
It was also reported last week after TV3 interviewed the military commander and interim Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama that Mr Peters was banned.
But in a statement to the Herald yesterday, Mr Chand said: "I can confirm that NZ's Foreign Affairs Minister, Winston Peters as well as Prime Ministers Helen Clark and John Howard are not on any list as such of people either restricted from entering or departing Fiji. This is the official position of Fiji Government."
