Nauru president David Adeang walked out of the Pacific Islands Forum on Thursday and is a no show at a leaders retreat on Aitutaki.
The walkout came after Samoa's Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Matafa raised concerns over the process in which ex-Nauru president Baron Waqa had been elected to become the next secretary-general of the Pacific Islands Forum and wanted that to be discussed during the retreat.
RNZ Pacific's Lydia Lewis spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
