George Sionetuato's Problem Solving Experience:
- I am a former senior public servant and advisor to the Cabinet of the Government of Niue. My role is adhoc advisor in areas where Government is required to engage in non departmental procedures. A clear example of this is during the military coup in Fiji where as part of the regional member we needed to engage but not alienate Fiji and other members of the Forum whilst not antagonizing other external partners and stakeholders. Since we are the incoming Chair of the Pacific Island Forum, much care and diplomacy is needed to manage the whole situation.
