The Permanent Mission takes pride in its transparency and in disseminating information on its work relating to the United Nations system, including its principle organs, our participation in the main committees and plenary of the General Assembly, in open debates of the Security Council (UNSC), the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and the subsidiary organs of the UN.

With our country’s waters occupying nearly 1.2 million square miles of the Pacific Ocean, giving our country the 14^th largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the world, ocean related matters are prominent on our UN Mission agenda.

The Mission makes available on its website information on opportunities at the United Nations that are available to our citizens.
