Source: PIF

A series of high-level Ministerial Meetings of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) will begin this month in Suva, bringing together senior officials, government ministers, and leaders from across the region to progress key regional priorities.

Throughout July, Pacific ACP Trade Ministers, Forum Trade Ministers, Forum Economic Ministers, and PIF Women Leaders will convene, followed by Forum Foreign Ministers who will meet in August.

These important discussions will pave the way for the 54^th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting to be held in Honiara, Solomon Islands from September 8-12, 2025.

The theme for the Leader’s meeting is: Iumi Tugeda: Act Now for an Integrated Blue Pacific Continent.

Pacific Islands Forum Secretary General Baron Waqa says as preparations for the 54^th Forum Leaders Meeting in Honiara ramp up, the collective focus remains on delivering the regional outcomes that Pacific people expect, grounded in the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent and shaped by Pacific priorities.

The Ministerial Meetings will focus on progressing regional cooperation under the 2050 Strategy, including advancing the Pacific Roadmap for Economic Development, a refreshed Pacific Aid-for-Trade Strategy, the revitalised Pacific Leaders Gender Equality Declaration, and ongoing work under the Review of the Regional Architecture.

These meetings are a critical part of ensuring a coordinated and unified approach of the PIF to shared challenges and opportunities, in line with the vision of a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable Blue Pacific region.
