Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says that despite the US President Donald Trump backing off from supporting climate change assistance, we will go ahead and invite him to Fiji to see the effects of climate change.
Bainimarama made this comment in a press conference with UNFCCC Executive Secretary Particia Espinosa this afternoon.
He says that we are going to deal with it, invite the US President to Fiji then only he will be able to see what Fiji is going through.
He says he had a very good discussion with the Secretary on UN’s negotiations on climate change for Cop 23.
He says this is a huge responsibility that Fiji has been given and Fiji will grab every possible way to assist to move the negotiations ahead.
Meanwhile, Espinosa assured the Prime Minister that they will support him.
She says they will ensure that the concerns of the vulnerable countries are taken into consideration.
