[Paradise Tabucala]

Good morning from the PDF Secretariat in Fiji,

This year the 4th Small Islands Developing States Conference was held in St John's, Antigua and Barbuda, under the overarching theme of “Charting the course toward resilient prosperity."

The Small Island Developing States Global conference focuses on climate change, sustainable development and other issues faced by small island states.

This year, the Chief Executive of the Pacific Disability Forum, Mr. Setareki Macanawai in addressing all those present, stressed the importance of inclusion adding that any approach to addressing issues faced by SIDS cannot be a one size fits all.

Attached is his speech as well as a picture with  Dr Aubrey Webson, the Permanent Representative to the United Nations for Antigua and Barbuda.


Vinaka and Kind Regards
