He said in a press release, "They would argue that the international community hasn't taken sufficient notice of their strategic framework for change process."
"I've tried to listen to that discussion and to make sure that the international community, and particularly New Zealand's concerns, are understood."
Although the latest meeting was part of an important ongoing dialogue, Minister McCully said it did not yield any immediate tangible results.
The all-to-familiar concerns for the island nation revolve around the stringent travel bans in place, as well as various types of economic sanctions.
Tensions between Fiji and New Zealand originate from the bloodless coup of 2006, when Commodore Frank Bainimarama took power and appointed himself Prime Minister.
Even though Bainimarama promised a return to democratic elections from 2009 to 2014, the Commonwealth suspended Fiji from the 16-nation Pacific Islands Forum in 2006.
Newly-elected Solomon Islands Prime Minister Danny Philip, said in a press release that isolating Fiji from the Pacific islands leaders forum had been a big mistake.
Mr Philip pointed out that it was Fiji's former leaders who initiated the South Pacific Forum, and as long as the Fijian government was committed to returning to democratic rule, the question of timing should not be one of too much concern.
