Havana, August 9 (RHC)-- Cuba will participate in the 50thj Pacific Islands Forum scheduled to take place from August 13-16 in Tuvalu’s capital Funafuti. The Caribbean island's delegation will be headed by Emilio Lozada Garcia, Director of Bilateral Affairs at the Foreign Ministry.

 

In an article on the ministry’s website, Cubaminrex, it stated that the meeting is the main dialogue platform for political exchange in the forum that gathers 14 small island states, as well as observers and partners, a condition that Cuba has since 2003.

 

The annual meeting will have as its main focus the confrontation of climate change, oceans protection, maritime borders, fisheries and regional security, as well as the strengthening of cooperation for development.

 

Last year the forum adopted the Boe Declaration, which says climate change is the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security and wellbeing of people in the Pacific.
