TUVALU PRIME MINISTER HON. KAUSEA NATANO
on
the
MICRONESIA PRESIDENT’S FEBRUARY 2021
COMMUNIQUE
As the Chair of the Pacific Islands Forum,
I am saddened by the recent decision of the Micronesian
Presidents’ Summit on 8 February 2021 to initiate their
withdrawal, through national processes, from the Pacific
Islands Forum family.
The Forum Family will not be
complete without its Micronesian brothers and sisters. If
there remains any possibility of a resolution to this
impasse, I would hope that we can explore this in the name
of regional unity and solidarity, recognising the
existential and current challenges of climate change and
COVID-19 demanding our undivided attention.
