Kiribati informed the APIL Board of Directors on Oct. 27 that it is prepared to host the APIL 2026 General Assembly and offered two venue options: Tarawa and Christmas Island (Kiritimati).

A representative of the Kiribati parliament made the offer during the meeting's business session and asked members to accept either venue in principle while Kiribati finalizes logistics with its parliament and the Kiribati Tourism Authority.

Under the bylaw amendments the board adopted at the same meeting, the annual General Assembly is expected to be scheduled in late June each year unless members agree otherwise. Delegates indicated that June would be preferred but said the host delegation could return to the board with any scheduling constraints.

The board thanked Kiribati for the offer and asked the delegation to provide a formal hosting proposal, dates and proposed theme in time for planning.
