澳大利亚总理阿尔巴内塞为定于下月在斐济和图瓦卢举行的联合国气候预备会议（前COP）的领导人出席情况进行了辩护 1。据阿尔巴内塞透露，目前仅有来自太平洋地区外的五位领导人确认出席，这五个国家分别为安提瓜和巴布达、佛得角、泰国、马尔代夫和东帝汶 1。
对于媒体对出席率低的质疑，阿尔巴内塞表示不满，批评相关提问对太平洋领导人缺乏尊重，并表示该活动将获得太平洋领导人的广泛出席 1。气候部长克里斯·鲍恩预计约3000至4000人将参加斐济举办的活动 1。为支撑这场气候预备会议，澳大利亚已投入约2000万澳元，全球投入预计达1.5亿澳元 1。前COP计划于10月举行 1。
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended the attendance record for an upcoming United Nations climate preparatory conference, acknowledging that only five leaders from outside the Pacific region have confirmed their participation so far.1 The confirmed international attendees include leaders from Antigua and Barbuda, Cape Verde, Thailand, Maldives, and East Timor.1
The pre-COP meeting is scheduled for October and will be held across Fiji and Tuvalu.1 Climate Minister Chris Bowen has indicated that approximately 3,000 to 4,000 people are expected to attend the Fiji portion of the event.1 Australia has committed around AUD 20 million to the initiative, with total global investment estimated at AUD 150 million to support Bowen's role as a negotiating representative.1
When pressed by media about the limited international participation, Albanese pushed back at journalists, stating: "You have been consistently disrespectful to Pacific leaders."1 He maintained that the summit would ultimately draw broad attendance from Pacific leadership despite the current confirmation numbers.1
