Pacific Island Nations need to continuously engage with the global community which is essential for the success of our economies.
This was highlighted by the Acting Prime Minister and Attorney‑General Aiyaz Sayed‑Khaiyum while delivering his keynote address at the Pacific Multi-Stakeholders Dialogue in Suva.
Sayed-Khaiyum says Pacific nations need to be vocal about development issues that affect the Pacific Islands and for the betterment of our economies.
He says results show that the Pacific is a lot better at achieving its targets in minimizing carbon emission.
Sayed-Khaiyum says Fiji is confident that the global community can get the job done, after the US withdrew from the Paris Agreement.
Sayed-Khaiyum says as President of COP23, Fiji is doing everything that will safeguard the interest of all Pacific Nations.
He says Fiji looks forward to the outcomes of the development of a regional road map, which Fiji will push for in the COP23 meeting in Bonn, Germany.
Discussions today will surround the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda, Samoa Pathway and Framework for Pacific Regionalism.
