Papua New Guinea PM James Marape further told PM Modi that the Pacific Islands nations will rally behind India’s leadership at international forums.
He further added that “the issue of Ukraine war with Russia or Russia war with Ukraine rather, we import the inflation to our own small economies. These nations sitting before you,

And hopefully, at the end of these dialogues, may India and the Pacific’s relationship is entrenched and strengthened,” Marape affirmed.
Meanwhile, continuing, he advocated that more importantly, the issues that are facing the Pacific island nations, especially the smaller ones amongst us ahead in its right context and given support by you, the leader of the Global South.
