20.01.2022 Pacific Islands States most urgent issue remains climate change.

14.01.2022 Exporting military equipment to countries called out for war crimes is appalling. The US too is exporting lethal military hardware to these same countries. Agai...n our nation is seen by the world to be in lockstep with the policies of a foreign nation. Surely we have the opportunity to be an exporter of alternative fine products other than lethal weapons. Its time for us to stand freely and peacefully independent.
