The Pacific’s annual meeting of Fisheries Ministers heads to the region’s smallest island community this weekend, becoming part of a historic moment for Tokelau. Traditional leaders and the close-knit community of Atafu, where ministers and officials are set to make landing this Sunday are going to be welcoming the territory’s first-ever regional gathering of Pacific ministers. Staff of the Apia-based Government office for Tokelau, led by General Manager Jovilisi Suveinakama and Tokelau-based Mikaele Perez, Director for Economic Development, Natural Resources and Environment have spent months in preparation sorting host-country logistics for the nine Fisheries Ministers and all the 17 FFA member country delegations attending. Perez says the island community of Atafu is “abuzz” with the countdown to the arrival of almost 70 FFC10 ministerial meeting delegates and observers.
