A delegation from MFOR, Kiribati participated in the 44th annual meeting of the PNA officials that took place from 13 to 14 March 2025, at the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNAO) headquarters in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands. During this meeting, Kiribati takes on the chairmanship of this group from the out-going chair, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). This means, Kiribati will drive the processes of the PNA during a one-year tenure, guided by the Parties and the PNA Office. Like other regional organizations, this meeting allows Parties to the PNA to discuss matters of great importance to the commercialization and sustainable development of the tuna fishery in their group. Around 80% of the total purse seine catch in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean comes from the PNA waters. This is why this PNA grouping is so important to Kiribati, in terms of the aspirations to maximize benefits from the tuna resources in our vast ocean space. The MFOR acknowledges the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority and the PNA Office for supporting the successful convening of this annual meeting.
