At the Women's International Forum event on, "Small States in the International System: Does Size Matter?" His Excellency Filipo Tarakinikini was amongst one of the panelists at the event that was sponsored @AustraliaUN
H.E. emphasized the resilience & unity of Pacific Islands in tackling global challenges, and the importance of amplifying our collective voice on the international stage.
Key highlights from the discussion:
•The ongoing efforts by Fiji and other Pacific nations at the international level to raise awareness and seek solutions.
•The significant role played by young people in Vanuatu’s successful push for the UNGA to seek an ICJ advisory opinion on climate change obligations.

Glad to begin my day with the @WIF_UN.
Their work to promote mutual understanding & inclusion is inspiring.

Human rights are essential in these efforts, as they connect us all.

They also bring solutions to global challenges, such as lack of trust & inequality in all aspects.
