A number of\nannouncements were made during a state visit to Solomon Islands by the Prime\nMinister of PNG, James Marape. He reconfirmed that his government would provide\nsupport to the Sogavare government for hosting the Pacific Games in 2023. He\nalso announced that PNG would sponsor 50 scholarships annually for students\nfrom Solomon Islands for the next five years. Prime Minister Sogavare called\nfor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solomonstarnews.com\/index.php\/news\/national\/item\/22883-need-to-address-health-climate-change-expressed\">greater\ncollective action<\/a> among Pacific island countries to address challenges\nposed by the impacts of climate change. He also said that leaders and countries\nneed to work together to address the threats posed by the non-communicable\ndisease crisis in the region. Exploring how business links between the countries\ncan be enhanced was also a feature of the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">American Samoa cancels meeting of the Polynesian Leaders\u2019 Group<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>American Samoa has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/international\/pacific-news\/410527\/coronavirus-american-samoa-won-t-host-polynesian-leaders-group\">cancelled<\/a>\na meeting of the Polynesian Leaders\u2019 Group. The meeting was deferred from\nJanuary to April because of the measles outbreak that affected member\ncountries, most notably Samoa. Authorities have now said that the meeting will\nnot go ahead at all because of concerns relating to COVID-19. American Samoa\nhad been expected to host the meeting in 2019. However, Tuvalu agreed to take\non that responsibility in conjunction with hosting the meeting of Pacific\nIslands Forum leaders in August of last year. Elsewhere in the region,\nauthorities are taking extra precautions in attempts to prevent COVID-19\nspreading to their countries. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/international\/pacific-news\/410681\/covid-19-samoa-reduces-flights-from-nz\">Samoa<\/a>\nhas reduced the number of flights that can operate in and out of the country.\nVanuatu and Tonga have turned away cruise ships that were scheduled to make\ncalls in those countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Samoa hosts historic UN meeting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Samoa is hosting an historic UN meeting. The\n84<sup>th<\/sup> Extraordinary Outreach Session of the Committee on the Rights\nof the Child is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samoaobserver.ws\/category\/samoa\/59048\">being\nheld in Apia<\/a> this week. It is the first time that a UN treaty body has held\na formal meeting outside New York or Geneva. Given the location of this\nmeeting, the focus is very much on the Pacific and how the rights of children\ncan be better protected in this part of the world. Having the meeting held in\nthe region meant that for the first time, members of the committee could hear\ndirectly from Pacific children. Meanwhile, in Fiji, there has been a great deal\nof concern about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbcnews.com.fj\/news\/video-emerges-of-brutal-school-bullying\/\">bullying\nin schools<\/a> further to the release of a video on social media of a group of\nstudents apparently beating another child at a prominent boarding school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morocco hosts Pacific countries in Layounne<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Morocco has hosted a third meeting\nof Pacific countries in Layounne (also known as El Aouin). Among the countries\nthat were represented were Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and Vanuatu. The\ndiscussions at the summit appear to have included commitments to greater\nassistance for Pacific countries from Morocco. Areas for mutual cooperation\ninclude education, agriculture and tourism. However, more controversially, the\nMoroccan leadership has since claimed that this meeting supported its position\non the disputed territory of Western Sahara. This comes as the UN Human Rights\nCouncil was told that the global community was <a href=\"http:\/\/webtv.un.org\/search\/item2-general-debate-contd-11th-meeting-43rd-regular-session-human-rights-council\/6136566318001\/\">\u2018ignorant\nand silent\u2019<\/a> on the issue of the military occupation of Western Sahara. A\nstatement released by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spsrasd.info\/news\/en\/articles\/2020\/02\/28\/24855.html\">Polisario\ngroup<\/a>, who advocate for independence for Western Sahara, has sought to\nundermine the significance of this meeting by thanking those Pacific island\ncountries who did not attend. The forum will reconvene in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vanuatu election campaigns get underway<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In Vanuatu, election campaigns are underway.\nDespite a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailypost.vu\/news\/official-candidates-declaration-today\/article_17ef9fba-5cc9-11ea-ae56-e30acee37d7b.html\">delay<\/a>\nin the announcement of the official list of eligible candidates by the\nElectoral Commission, campaigning was able to commence during March 3<sup>rd<\/sup>.\nThe campaign period will end at midnight on March 16<sup>th<\/sup> ahead of\npolling day on March 19<sup>th<\/sup>. Vanuatu has a unicameral Parliament\ncomprising of 52 seats. There are expected to be around 300 candidates\ncontesting. Whilst some will campaign under the banner of established parties,\nthere are also new parties taking part in these elections. There is also a\nsignificant number of independent candidates taking part, including some women.\nIn the first decade after independence in 1980, the Vanua\u2019aku Pati was able to\nform government in its own right. Since then Vanuatu politics has become more\nfractured with coalition governments becoming the norm. This is expected to\ncontinue after these current elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"author label\">AUTHOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tess Newton Cain<\/strong>&nbsp;is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Griffith Asia Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TESS NEWTON CAIN\u00a0 |\u00a0 \u00a0 Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands strengthen relations Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands have signed treaties to strengthen relations between their countries.
