Thanks for your comment.

The latest I heard was that there was significant opposition to this deal, hardly a surprise. And that there were many small nations formally opposed including Tuvalu and Mauritius.

Hopefully, later today, my video interviews with the President of an NGO focused on highlighting the Tuvalu issues will be uploaded. He was a kind and very polite Japanese man – Suuichi Endou.

If anyone reading this has access to funds, he told me that his Tuvalu Overview project is always in need of funding…

Best wishes,

Hope you had a good sleep, you certainly earned it.

If you pick up anything more on the fate of the
low-lying islands question, Maldives particularly,
could you let me know?

I’ll be in the Indian Ocean region February-March
and I’m very concerned about the low-lying islands
question. My fear is that it got lost in the final panic.

Along with so very much else.

Hang in there.
