[PDFlist] Update: Pacific Disability Dialogue

[Casper Joseph Fa'asala]

Bula Sainimili,

Thank you for the announcement of the 8th Disability Regional Dialogue.

Your introductory paragraph together with your final paragraph of your
email somehow, seemed contradictory.  In the first para the Dialogue is
confirmed for October 2025, while your final paragraph confirms the
rescheduling of the Dialogue.

I take it that the Dialogue is now rescheduled for 2026.  Please confirm.

Vinaka

Casper
