Palau International Airport gets upgrade funding
Palau International Airport has received funding from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency to upgrade critical aviation infrastructure. The technical assistance will update the airport’s master plan to help it prepare for long-term growth, including analysis of how to extend the existing runway to accommodate larger planes, and will provide guidance on determining the specifics of airport development needs across the country.
Pacific Island countries like Palau are among the world’s most air-dependent economies due to their remote location. Airline connectivity is critical for driving tourism, as well as education, employment opportunities, healthcare access, and the delivery of goods and services. Improved and expanded ROR infrastructure will facilitate economic development, including by ending logistical constraints limiting the size of aircraft that can use ROR and by developing other airstrips in the country.

Taipei, Feb. 24 (CNA) Taiwan will join a major political gathering of Pacific island nations later this year in Palau, a senior diplomat said Tuesday, after it and other non-members of the bloc were barred from having any role in the annual event in 2025.
Michael Lin (林昭宏), head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' (MOFA) Department of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, said Taiwan will once again join the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Leaders Meeting to be held in Palau from Aug. 30 to Sept. 4.
Lin did not say what Taiwan's participation would entail, but it could involve holding side events at the forum as has been the case in previous years except for 2025, when Taiwan's representatives could not even go to the Solomon Islands, which hosted last year's forum.
