00:00Taiwan will participate in this year's Pacific Islands Forum after it was barred from attending in 2025.
00:38Last year, the annual gathering of Pacific Island nations was hosted in the Solomon Islands, which did not invite any
00:44of the forum's external partners, including the U.S., China, or Taiwan.
00:48The move reportedly followed pressure from Beijing to exclude Taipei.
00:52But this year, it will be held in Palau, which maintains formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
00:57The foreign minister here, Ling Jialong, visited Palau in December, promising to help build environmentally friendly shuttles for transportation during
01:04the forum.
