Solomon Islands' incoming representative to the United Nations will take to New York many of the causes he fought for when he headed the Parties to the Nauru Agreement.
Transform Aqorau was chief executive of the PNA for many years and turned that body into a force that saw Pacific island nations start to earn substantial amounts of money from their tuna fishing resources.
He is now to become Solomon Islands permanent representative at the UN and told Don Wiseman that it's not his first diplomatic role, having worked for Foreign Affairs many years ago.
