Fiji has lost its copy of the historic document that confirmed the Pacific nation's independence from Britain in 1970, the state broadcaster has reported.

The head of government archives, Salesia Ikaniwai, revealed the Independence Order, which sets out the basis of Fiji's constitution, went missing more than five years ago, the Fiji Broadcasting Corporation said.
