PUBLIC ANNOUCEMENT: FSM Will Be Hosting the 47th Pacific Islands Forum (PIF)

PUBLIC ANNOUCEMENT

This is to inform the general public that the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) will be hosting the 47^th Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) and related meetings in Pohnpei from September 7-11, 2016. This is an annual Forum for all the leaders of the Pacific Region and it is expected to be attended by Heads of States and Governments across the region with roughly around 500 plus officials and participants. 

                             

One of the challenges in hosting the Forum as stressed by the organizing Committee is on accommodation or number of hotel rooms and apartments that are available in Pohnpei.  As such, the Department of Resources and Development as the focal point of Accommodations Sub-committee has been tasked to coordinate with local and interested individuals, who are willing to rent out their homes during that period.

For more information on the Forum and related meetings, please contact Mr. Jackson T. Soram, FSM Forum contact point from the Department of Foreign Affairs at soram@mail.fm,  or at Telephone no.  (691) 320-2641/2613.
