About 20 archipelagic and island states will attend the forum, he remarked.

“About seven ministers of AIS participants are scheduled to participate in the meeting. The number will increase because we are still waiting for confirmations from other ministers,” he explained.

The forum is expected to produce innovative and smart solutions in overcoming the real problems faced by the archipelagic and island states.

“It will also examine climate mitigation and adaptation measures, marine plastic debris, sustainable blue economy, and good maritime governance,” he pointed out.  (T/RS5/RS1)
