Lafaitele, who is the Associate Minister of Finance, is representing Samoa at the Asia Pacific Outreach Meeting on Sustainable Development Financing.
The meeting is following up on issues as agreed upon by world leaders at Rio+20, the global development agenda expanding beyond poverty reduction and MDGs, incorporating issues such as infrastructure, social development, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation, for which it is critical to secure appropriate courses of finance.
Over 30 countries from the region will be represented at the meeting by leading public and private sector figures. Lafaitele is being accompanied by Assistant Chief Executive of the Economic Planning Division, Leiataua Henry Ah Ching.
