On Saturday, he joined the Permanent Representative of Tuvalu to the United Nations, Ambassador Tapugao Falefou and the Permanent Representative of the Solomon Islands Jane Waetara on a panel hosted by the PVBLIC Foundation during its <strong>Parnerships Day<\/strong> at the United Nations headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event brought together leaders, innovators and changemakers as part of the PVBLIC Foundation\u2019s mission to spark collaboration and accelerate progress on some of the world\u2019s most pressing challenges.
