Clearing legal block to PIF participation priority for Marshalls govt

From , 6:01 am on 20 July 2022

Removing legal blocks to the Marshall Islands participation in the Pacific Islands Forum will be high on the agenda of the next sitting of the country's parliament.

The Nitijela is due to resume next month and despite president David Kabua's absence from last week's Pacific Islands Forum the government is adamant this was only due to a domestic legal issue and had no bearing on the country's future involvement in the regional body.

Joining me is RNZ Pacific's correspondent in Majuro, Giff Johnson, kia ora and welcome back on Pacific Waves Giff, what is the latest being said about the issue there?
