As part of phase three of the Review of the Regional Architecture, the High-Level Persons Group (HLPG) commenced the High-Level Political Talanoa with the Government of Fiji.

The HLPG met with Hon Biman Prasad, Fiji’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Strategic Planning, National Development and Statistics. They also met and had robust discussions with the Permanent Secretaries from across the Government machinery.

The dialogues focused on unlocking strategic opportunities as a collective and in response to the evolving strategic landscape and the need to address the systemic challenges within the current regional architecture.

The exchanges reaffirmed the collective ambition for deepened Pacific regionalism, including a strengthened regional governance framework that is fit-for-purpose - anchored in Pacific leadership, driven by member priorities, and accountable to the people of the Blue Pacific Continent.

The HLPG will also meet with the Prime Minister of Fiji, Hon. Sitiveni Rabuka in the coming weeks.

@BenarNews For closed to 80 years the people of the Marshall Islands have been jolted by the nuclear power of mass destructions with 67 nuclear weapons vaporizing our islands, displacing our people, destroying our culture, taking our lives, crops and heritage. We need the world’s help!

The Danish Institute for International Studies defines “free association” as a “politico-juridical status that originates in a series of efforts by the United Nations to encourage transition from non-self-governing territories to sovereign states.”
