<p>Thank you for the warm greetings and for sharing the exciting news about the upcoming <strong>Pacific Disability Dialogue</strong> in October 2025. We are thrilled to see such a significant event coming together, providing a platform for meaningful dialogue and collaboration among Pacific disability partners.</p>
<p>The structured program you've outlined looks promising, and we look forward to participating in discussions that will shape the future of disability inclusion in the Pacific. The focus on strategic planning, the Pacific Framework for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (PFRPD), and both partner and donor dialogues promises to be invaluable in advancing our shared goals.</p>
<p>Please let us know if there are any specific preparations or contributions needed from our side. We are eager to be part of this important initiative.</p>
