He highlights that Pacific nations share responsibility for maintaining peace and cooperation in the region.

Rabuka will meet with U.S. Senators Ed Case, Mike Lee, and Kevin Kramer, discussing issues of mutual interest for Fiji and the Pacific.

He hopes the “Ocean of Peace” concept, introduced at the UN General Assembly in 2023, will inspire peace and prosperity in the region.
