THE Kiribati government has raised its concern over misleading media reports that a piece of land in Savusavu would be used to accommodate migrants from the island nation.

Kiribati high commissioner Reteta Rimon said the piece of land was bought for investment purposes.

"There are no immediate plans for the relocation of Kiribati people to Fiji as had been speculated, due to misleading and inaccurate news reports," Mrs Rimon said.
