President Jacob Zuma has expressed South Africa’s support for the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States to be held in Apia, Samoa next year.

The conference will focus the world’s attention on a group of countries that remain a special case for sustainable development in view of their unique and particular vulnerabilities.

President Zuma said they joined others in wishing Samoa all the best in hosting this conference in the coming year.

South Africa stands ready to share its experience in hosting events of that magnitude.

“The Samoa conference will be an opportunity to build on the Barbados programme of action, the Johannesburg plan of implementation and the Mauritius strategy for implementation while we sat the post 2015 development agenda, President Zuma added.
