Cook Islands convened the first segment of its High-Level Political Talanoa this week in Rarotonga, as part of the third phase of the Review of the Regional Architecture (RRA).

Framed by rich dialogue, the Talanoa reflected a strong commitment to assessing the current regional architecture and identifying both the challenges and emerging opportunities.

Discussions centred on shaping a more streamlined, responsive, and member-driven regional system that delivers effectively on the priorities of the Blue Pacific.

As part of this national engagement, the High-Level Persons Group will also meet with the Prime Minister of the Cook Islands, Hon Mark Brown, in the coming week.

Making Pacific history in the US today-- How much will these two powerhouses from Pagopago shape the future of US-Pacific relations?

Congresswoman Uifa'atali Amata Radewagon and the newly-confirmed US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are close friends who share three other common ties --US President Trump, #AmericanSamoa and village kinship. #WIP

There is a lot of misinformation and flamethrowing on the Cook Islands, passports and China. Reach for a glass of water, sit down, take a breath, and read what the 2001 agreement on the 1901 agreement confirmed about Cook Islands' sovereignty. #IYKYK https://t.co/jW6eFbeFOC

Cos sharing is caring and I have lost count of the convos with so many --especially women-- who need to feel safe and supported in stepping away from the B word.

In fact, there are usually much deeper causes.

Leaders should start to recognize when it's occurring,

And take steps to help.

There are many global spaces where a Pacific voice sensitive to all the big taboos, is respected and heard.
This is one of them.
