Unity was supposed to be one of the major themes of an annual meeting of Pacific leaders, but it has been thrown into disarray by the withdrawal of one of the members.
Kiribati says the Pacific Islands Forum has failed to address the concerns of some countries, so it will not be taking part.
Now there is concern the dispute may overshadow one of the main issues the forum wants to discuss - climate change.
Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay reports from the Fijian capital, Suva.
