MAJURO Rodrigo Caio Brazil Jersey , Marshall Islands, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- A festive atmosphere has greeted pacific island leaders here as the people of the Marshall
Islands Tuesday crammed the streets of Majuro for the opening ceremony of the
44th Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), certain to focus attention on the challenges
of rising sea levels.


With host nation the Marshall Islands among the Pacific's most vulnerable states due to the inexorable rise in sea levels attributed to climate change,
the issue remains the key focus of the meeting's agenda.


Leaders including New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, Niue Premier Toke Talagi and Papaua New Guinean Prime Minister Peter O' Neill were welcomed by a
traditional Marshallese dance that dispelled bad sprits and has only been
performed six times outside of the islands in the last century.


Thousands looked on, with schoolchildren waving the flags of the 16 participating members, including the original seven founding members
(Nauru Ricardo Oliveira Brazil Jersey , New Zealand, Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa) as well as the smaller island nations of Micronesia,
Kiribati, Niue Renato Augusto Brazil Jersey , Marshall Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.


Fiji remains suspended from the Forum after failing to meet a deadline for general elections after Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama took power in 2006.


Between 400 and 600 government, private sector, non-government organization and media representatives from around the world have been pouring into Majuro
over the last week with meetings and events building up to Tuesday's official
opening.


The Forum officially knuckles down to business on Wednesday with two days of official meetings and a final Post-Forum Dialogue session on Friday.


With the theme of this year's forum "Marshaling the Pacific response to the climate challenge" Rafinha Brazil Jersey , the isolated Marshall Islands could not have been a more fitting host with its slender key island Majuro barely two meters above a
creeping sea level.


Addressing a massive crowd outside the national parliament or the "Nitijela", Forum Secretariat Secretary General, Tuiloma Neroni Slade, said climate change
was the number one challenge for all the peoples of the pacific.


"With the recent experience of the Marshall Islands severe drought followed by inundation, the theme of this year's forum is most aptly on the mark. Climate
Change is a real and most serious threat to the livelihood, security and
well-being of the peoples of the pacific," he said.


Marshall Islands President Christopher Loeak reiterated the urgency facing pacific nations and pledged to work with global partners in and outside the
forum to combat global warming.


"The world is indeed taking action Philippe Coutinho Brazil Jersey ," he said, "but together we are all falling well short."


The Marshall Islands, a cluster of some 34 atolls with a population of 65,000, has now hosted the forum twice, the last time in 1996.


DAMASCUS, July 23 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian army has captured a terrain of 36 square kilometers in the western Qalamoun region Pele Brazil Jersey , northwest of Damascus, over the past 24 hours, state TV reported on Sunday.


The Syrian army and the Lebanese Hezbollah group have advanced in Qalamoun in Syria and in the adjacent Juroud Arsal area on the Lebanese side of the borders,
since both forces unleashed an offensive on Friday to clean the border area of
al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front militants.


Meanwhile, a military source told Xinhua that the Syrian army and Hezbollah have completely secured the Flaita barrens in Qalamoun from the Nusra militants.


Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said that 46 Nusra militants were killed on Sunday in Juroud Arsal in Lebanese, and 23 others killed in the
Fleita barrens on the Syrian side of the borders.


The battle aims to end the presence of the al-Qaida-linked militants in the barren areas of both countries Paulinho Brazil Jersey , as the militants used to smuggle weapons and explosives to both countries using the barren areas.
