Pacific Island Leaders

Washington, D.C. – On Thursday, Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata joined Pacific leaders in the U.S. Capitol for a working luncheon hosted by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Pacific Islands Forum leaders are in Washington for their meeting with President Biden and other U.S. officials – the first time a Pacific Countries Summit was hosted in Washington, although the first such summit attended by a U.S. President was held in Honolulu in October, 1990, where President George H.W. Bush gave concluding remarks. Amata participated in that summit as an adviser to and in support of the U.S. delegation.
