Fiji–Tonga relations

Fiji–Tonga relations are foreign relations between Fiji and Tonga. These neighbouring countries in the South Pacific have a history of bilateral relations going back several centuries.
Though relations between the two countries had been good since they both became independent in the 1970s, they deteriorated considerably in early 2011.〔("Battle for lonely Pacific reef heats up" ), AAP, June 14, 2011〕
== History ==
By the early 13th century, Eastern Fiji(Lau group) was a province of the Tongan empire. The Empire subsequently declined, but Tonga remained an influential neighbour in Fiji affairs. In 1848, Tongan Prince Maʻafu settled in Lakeba, establishing a new foothold in Eastern Fiji. He was accompanied by Tongan Wesleyan missionaries, who consolidated the earlier introduction of Methodism to Fiji by English Wesleyan missionaries.〔Élise Huffer, ''Grands hommes et petites îles: la politique extérieure de Fidji, de Tonga et du Vanuatu'', Paris: Orstom, 1993, ISBN 2-7099-1125-6, p.17.〕〔Steven R. Fischer, ''A History of the Pacific Islands'', Palgrave: New York, 2002, ISBN 0-333-94976-5, p.149.〕 Today, Methodism is the primary religion of indigenous Fijians.〔("Fiji bans 'inciteful' Christian conference" ), AFP, May 31, 2009〕
Maʻafu's influence in Fiji expanded during the 1850s, threatening Seru Epenisa Cakobau's attempts to establish himself as king of all Fiji. Ultimately, Maʻafu and Tonga's support at the 1855 Battle of Kaba was instrumental in enabling Cakobau to cement his leadership over Fiji, temporarily consolidating the Tongan Prince's status and role in the country. Tonga's direct influence faded, however, after Cakobau ceded Fiji to British sovereignty in 1874.〔Élise Huffer, ''Grands hommes et petites îles: la politique extérieure de Fidji, de Tonga et du Vanuatu'', Paris: Orstom, 1993, ISBN 2-7099-1125-6, pp.17-19.〕
