@EU_Partnerships@ERijna@PressACP The relation between SIDS and OCTs is an important issue for the EU as well as for SIDS.
#CFF2024 will be an excellent opportunity to move on this direction and I hope to be able to interact with the OCTs present in the Forum to see how we can do that.
@EU_Partnerships@ERijna For my part I highlighted that EU is one of the SIDS’ strongest political and development partners: a key investor with Global Gateway, one of the main providers of climate finance, a close ally in the fight against climate change, and a reliable interlocutor in multilateralism.
@EU_Partnerships@ERijna representing the Netherlands 🇳🇱 speaking as an islander from Bonaire who experiences the challenge of climate change first hand, he makes a strong call to work together urgently to tackle this challenge.
What are the challenges and opportunities of the BES islands in priority areas like connectivity, climate change, food security and economic diversification?

Hartgrondig eens met de gezaghebber van Bonaire @ERijna. Bedreigingen of intimidaties mogen we nooit tolereren. Goed dat hij aangifte heeft gedaan.
