President Joe Biden is set to announce the U.S. will open new embassies in the South Pacific islands of Cook Islands and Niue
Kerry and USAID administrator Samantha Power will host the leaders on Tuesday for climate talks with members of the philanthropic community. The leaders also are slated to meet with members of Congress andis to host a roundtable with the leaders and members of the business community.
Power last month travelled to Fiji to open a new USAID mission that will manage agency programs in nine Pacific Island countries: Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau. The U.S. this year has opened embassies in Solomon Islands and Tonga, and is on track to open an embassy in Vanuatu early next year.
The White House said most members of the 18-member forum were dispatching their top elected official or foreign minister to the summit. But the administration was"very disappointed" that Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, who was in New York last week for the, opted not to stick around for the White House summit, according to an administration official. The Solomon Islands last year signed a security pact with China.
Prime Minister Meltek Sato Kilman Livtuvanu of Vanuatu also is expected to miss the summit. He was elected by lawmakers earlier this month to replace Ishmael Kalsakau, who lost a no-confidence vote in parliament.
