Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who spent the past week travelling around the Pacific, said further discussions were needed to 'shape more consensus on cooperation'.
The decision comes following a high-level meeting between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and leaders from 10 Pacific Island nations in Fiji on Monday afternoon.
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the nations had agreed on five areas of cooperation, but further discussions were needed.

"As always, we put consensus first among our countries throughout any discussion on new regional agreements," Mr Bainimarama said at a press conference with Mr Wang.
