Fiji prepares to welcome Pacific leaders for the 51st Pacific Islands Forum

Leaders from across the Pacific region will be gathering in Suva for the 51st Pacific Islands Forum and related meetings from the 11th to the 14th of next month.

In a statement the Fijian Government says, the meeting chaired by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, will be an opportunity to strengthen relationships and reset goals and priorities for regionalism and collective action as a Forum Family.

Bainimarama says the 51st Pacific Islands Forum is an opportunity for us to gather and celebrate 50-years of Pacific regionalism through the Pacific Islands Forum, and to reflect on and honour what it means to work together towards shared aspirations and objectives.

The Forum Meetings in Suva will culminate in the launch of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent which has been developed over three years and consulted widely across the region.
