Here in FSM, a mission from the Solomon Islands / MSG visited President Christian. They were here about West Papua. If you don't know about West Papua... here is some knowledge on their situation. Yes, oppression and racism still exists to that degree in the Pacific.
If you don't know what MSG is all about, click here. So the Melanesians have MSG, the Polynesians have the Polynesian Leaders Group... I couldn't find their home page, but here is some information on their activities. And of course, the Micronesians have the Micronesian Chief Executives (no website), plus the Micronesian Trade and Economic Community. Never heard of them before? Me too.
I would be more than happy to share their news with everyone :)
Hawaii state Senator Wakai is challenging Micronesian chief executives to invite air travel and bid all government travels. What a great idea! How much is spent on Govt travel in FSM alone? This is the only guaranteed year in and year out travel from FSM.. why not bid out all government travel??
In CNMI, our brothers and sisters are also seeking a new and improved political status. The is the era of questioning and changing political statuses. Guam has a one too. Good on you guys.. Chuuk is leading the way!
The PACER plus trade agreement has been agreed upon by Pacific trade ministers... does this include FSM. It has to. How many people are aware of the benefits of Pacer plus? Well, if you don't know, you should because it affects us all. Click here for benefits and myths
- Secretary of the Navy visits the Republic of Palau! That's pretty big. I don't remember the last time a Secretary of the Navy visited the FSM. Well, I hope he had fun diving and stuff.
In other parts of the Pacific neighbors are pledging help (millions) to " to help Pacific Island countries benefit economically from a soon-to-be completed landmark trade and development deal." It doesn't actually say in the article.. but it's the Pacer plus trade agreement....
