Tuvuka, the official capital of the Republic of Fiji, is situated on the southeast coast of Viti Levu on the shores of Suva Harbour. Although it is closely connected to Suva City, Tuvuka has become the political and cultural symbol of Fiji with its unique administrative status and multicultural appeal. The city, with a population of about 87,000, carries the vein of Fiji's history - colonial architecture intertwined with modern tropical flavor, government agencies, national museums and lively local markets. As a major transportation hub in the South Pacific, Tuvuka is not only an important node for Fiji's domestic air and sea transportation, but also a starting point for exploring Fiji's diverse cultures, including Aboriginal Fijians, Indians, and Europeans, which attracts tourists every year to experience its friendly atmosphere and natural beauty.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
