The Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister Tanja Fajon was present at the summit. Her visit served to build bridges and alliances for the country to get a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. It remains to be seen whether the country will obtain the support of the member countries of the Organization of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States.

The theme for this year’s meeting is titled “Three Continents, Three Oceans, a Common Destiny: Building a Resilient and Sustainable OACPS.” Issues like climate change, corruption, and good governance, etc prominently figured at the summit. Several countries including island nations harped on the consequences of climate change for their own existence as future sea levels are projected to increase in the range of 10 to 100 centimeters by the year 2100. The island state joined the OACPS only this year. But they are desperate to gain international support to counter the threat of climate change.
