RNZ Pacific correspondent Lydia Lewis is in Tonga - where Pacific leaders are starting to arrive for the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders' Meeting.
The Kingdom is hosting the leaders and ministers of 18 Forum member nations. Lydia runs through the main issues to be discussed.
These include the seasonal worker brain drain, freer travel around the Pacific, making it easier for Pacific nations to access climate finance to prepare for disaster, but the New Caledonia political crisis is front and centre.
