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.

The third attempt was a plain old Gestapo-style coup.
Under cover of darkness and during curfew hours, like the parable thief, 15 Fijian officials infiltrated the region’s sacred space in Laucala, kidnapped its CEO and his wife and whisked them off to Australia. The operation was over within 10 hours from the 12am Laucala campus kidnap to catch the 10am Nadi flight.
And just next door at Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, in the early hours of the same Thursday, February 4, morning, the leaders were groaning over Dame Meg Taylor’s successor [as secretary-general].
This Fiji operation was a staged and successful coup on the supreme governing body of USP while its leaders were preoccupied and too tired to take any action.
