Rabuka appealed to APEC leaders to aid the Pacific in addressing the immediate and urgent threat of climate change.
“Fiji fully support the vision of a greener, global economy as articulated under the IPEF, which aligns with the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent emphasizing the need for nations to co-exist peacefully and collaborate on trans-boundary issues including climate change. To realize this vision and respond to climate change sustainable investment in infrastructure and innovation is imperative.”
Fiji is not a member of APEC.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation is a regional economic forum established in 1989 to leverage the growing interdependence of the Asia-Pacific.
