Harris or Trump? Some claim that the future of Europe depends on the American elections, while it depends first and foremost on us. On condition Europe finally grows up and believes in its own strength. Whatever the outcome, the era of geopolitical outsourcing is over.
The population of Pacific nations is half the population of Australia and yet the Pacific covers 15% of the world.
When put like that the perspectives of geopolitics in the region heightens the importance and perceptions.

@slrabuka This nomination shows the Fiji PM @slrabuka doesn't see himself as a National Leader, rather as a leader for Cakaudrove, Vanua Levu persons n Labasians only! It is grossly unfair that Fiji has two Pressies in succession from Cakaudrove. Time to democratically elect the President!
Today, the first ever United Nations agreement on digital and AI issues was adopted - the Global Digital Compact.
I’m proud of Sweden who led the negotiations together with Zambia.
Global Digital Compact lays the foundation for a responsible and inclusive digital environment, introducing new initiatives to enhance global cooperation and AI governance.
Together, we are shaping a sustainable digital future.
Reporting is an onerous obligation if not properly coordinated and no mean feat as Fiji has ratified all of the 9 core treaties- good to read this significant step by the @FijiGovernment. The #NMRF should address the overdue reporting.

@TNCPacific Have Pacific leaders given our collective sovereignty over to China? It seems so. China has muscled its way into the gaps of member countries over decades. This is the Faustian pact.
Nearly time to head home from #Tonga after a huge #PIFLM53 week. Here are some words from me about the case of the 2 communiques: https://t.co/U4iwKka2vz
Deep sea mining may not be on the #PIFLM53 agenda but it is certainly at the table. Canadian DSM company The Metals Company boss Gerard Barron is attending #PIFLM53 as part of the Nauru delegation "wearing an official badge registered to Nauru".

@AnnaPowles@geoffrey_payne@barbaradreaver Never doubt the below imho.
There appears to be a no. of countries in the region buttering their bread on both sides, West, and with China.
"The removal of Section 66 raised serious questions about the degree of *influence China has* on the regional body, said Anna Powles".
It’s Raoul Wallenberg Day today.
We remember the Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust and are reminded of the importance of combating antisemitism and racism.
We honour Raoul Wallenberg’s memory, solidarity, civil courage and charitable acts.
First female Fijian sail master! Vinaka Ivanancy Vunikura who sailed with her crew on the Uto ni Yalo in time for the Pacific Islands Forum leaders Summit.
Great read here 👌🏽🧉🇫🇯
I wish a happy Independence Day to the Ukrainian people. These are dark times for Ukraine and Europe. But just like Ukraine broke free from the Soviet grip in 1991, Ukraine will also break free from the Russian grasp today. More Swedish support will come, you can be sure of that.

Here's what this means for the US 🇺🇸, EU 🇪🇺, Ukraine 🇺🇦, and Russia 🇷🇺, from the perspective of a Ukrainian-US tech entrepreneur who's been covering Telegram's Kremlin connections and security holes for the last 15 months. Thread: 1/X
33 years ago, the Ukrainian people chose independence from the Soviet Union.
Today, Ukraine is a sovereign state, standing against Russia's attempts to destroy its national and cultural identity.
The UK will #StandWithUkraine for as long as it takes.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
