The Kiribati CA is grateful to have participated in the team leaders meeting held in Brisbane from December 16th to 20th, 2024. This meeting provided a valuable opportunity for regional CAs to exchange information, share ideas, and discuss challenges related to market access requirements. Maintaining access to global markets is essential for the economic development of all Pacific nations, and Kiribati acknowledges the importance of staying aligned with these requirements. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Forum Fisheries Agency for their ongoing technical and financial support, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of these discussions and initiatives.
