GODBOLD, Senior Circuit Judge:
The Government of Fiji, a foreign state, entered into an agreement with Eckert International, Inc., a United States corporation. Fiji canceled the contract, and Eckert sued for breach in federal court in Virginia. Fiji asserted sovereign immunity, and the district court held that it had waived immunity, 834 F.Supp. 167. Fiji appeals. We review the matter de novo, reach the same conclusion as the district court, and affirm.
