Seruiratu states that the Working Group’s aim is to analyze options for the formal restructuring of the PIPG and decide on the way forward.
“Looking at the developments that are taking place and of course the geopolitics and the issues that confront us and there is a key role of Parliament in all these issues that confront us and we are here to look at the restructuring of the Pacific Islands Parliamentary Group.”
