Pacific Community Family Meets up in Niue



"The CRGA meeting; was it purposely brought to Niue because you're the DG for the Pacific Community?" This question was asked by one of the social media team member before the official opening for the 45th Committee of Representatives of Governments and Administrators (CRGA) here in Niue. "I admire the question, but unfortunately no. However it is very delightful to be home" answered by one of Niue's very own also Director General for the Pacific Community Dr. Colin Tukuitonga. For the first time since the CRGA started, Niue was honored to host the 45th CRGA meeting after 68 years, and also the 9th Pacific Community Conference. Members from all across the Pacific Community all came together for the significant event and were all amazed at what Niue had to offer.

Niue's population had a minor spike in numbers as respected members from each of the states of the Pacific Community all gathered on "the rock" for the CRGA (30th October - 2nd November) and Pacific Community Conference (3rd - 5th November). Delegates from all across the Pacific region occupied almost all of Niue's accommodation facilities at the time.

Having being the first for Niue to hold such significant event like this, Honourable Premier Talagi was pleased and very thankful for everyone's cooperation and help towards the event itself and organisers that made it possible.
