The annual meeting of the "Pacific Islands Forum", which is created in the Pacific Islands, is held on the 14th, attended by the leaders.
However, the leaders of multiple member countries have forgotten to attend, and there are concerns that the pace of each country will be disturbed, and there is a view that it may lead to further expansion of China, which is expanding its influence in this region, and each country agrees. The focus is on being able to show a good posture.
The Pacific Islands Forum, which began on the 11th in Suva, the capital of Fiji, and is made up of 18 countries and regions such as Australia and the Pacific Islands, was attended by the leaders of each country from 6 am on the 14th of the final day. A plenary meeting is being held.
The meeting will be held privately and is expected to discuss issues such as the relationship with China, which is expanding its influence in the region in the economic and security fields, and climate change issues in recent years.
However, at this meeting, Kiribati announced that he would withdraw from the election last year because the candidates recommended by multiple countries including Kiribati were not selected, and President Marmau was absent and Marshall. Leaders of the Islands and Cook Islands are also absent due to local elections and other reasons.
The Pacific Islands Forum is positioned as a framework for islands located in vast regions to work together on regional issues, but it may lead to further expansion of China amid concerns about the turmoil of each country. The focus is on being able to show a consistent attitude through the meeting.
