Wellington  - New Zealand and Fiji refused to budge in the standoff that threatened to see the two countries expel each other's diplomats Tuesday.

New Zealand insisted it would not reverse a ban on visas for officials of the military, which seized power in a bloodless coup two years ago, and their families, until fresh democratic elections were held.

Prime Minister John Key told reporters he sent a message to Fiji military strongman Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama confirming that the travel ban remained in force.

"It spells out our position, which is we have no intentions of lifting the ban on people travelling to New Zealand if they are part of the regime or associated with the regime," Key said.

As she arrived, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key told reporters that he had sent a message to Fiji military strongman Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama confirming a travel ban on Fijian administration officials and their families, imposed after Bainimarama seized power in a bloodless coup two years ago.
