Australia's Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Island Affairs is continuing to hold discussions throughout the Pacific about the Pacific Islands Forum agenda in August, climate change, and negotiations on the trade agreement for the region. On a whistle-stop tour, Duncan Kerr is visiting Palau, Marshall Islands, and Federated States of Micronesia in the north Pacific. He'll then head to Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu.
The trip comes just weeks out from the Pacific Islands Forum leaders meeting in Cairns, in early August, which will bring PACER Plus negotiations to the table. Mr Kerr says his negotiations are all above board.
