At this year's Forum, in Samoa, Mr Waqa was asked if journalists would be allowed into Nauru next year when it hosts the annual event.
Currently, journalists have to pay a non-refundable $US6,089 application fee for a visa to enter Nauru.
ABC said Mr Waqa told reporters they are working with [the Pacific Islands Forum] to make sure that everyone gets there.
Only two Australian journalists have been allowed into Nauru in recent years.
