49th PIFS Leaders Summit

Nauru working with Forum to allow journalist to cover PIFS in 2018

Nauru is hosting the 49th Forum Leaders meeting in 2018.

The Smaller Islands States (SIS) Chairman says his government is working with the Forum on the issue.

“Let me assure you that we are working with the Forum to make sure you all get there,” said President Waqa at the SIS press conference in Apia today (Monday).

Nauru increased the cost of foreign journalists' visa applications from AUD$200 to AUD$8000 in 2014 (US$160 - US$6,366), an amount which is not refundable if the bid is rejected.
