Before the Korean-Pacific Islands Summit on Monday, May 29, 2023 in Seoul, Prime Minister Hon. James Marape joined other Pacific Leaders for a breakfast caucus. It was chaired by Cook Islands Prime Minister and current Pacific Islands Forum Chair, Hon. Mark Brown, to discuss the agenda and a common position on shared development issues.
PM Marape said climate variation, being the perennial issue and sourcing appropriate development assistance from the Korean Government, was high on the agenda.
He said the encouragement during the caucus was for all Pacific Leaders to discuss their developmental challenges and put forward their ideas on how Korean development assistance could complement the 2050 Blue Pacific Strategy.
