Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele, officially launched the theme and logo for the upcoming 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 setting the stage for one of the region’s most significant diplomatic gatherings.
The launch commenced at the Solomon Islands National University (SINU) Panatina Grounds, as part of the ongoing National Trade Fair.
The forum, scheduled to take place in Honiara from 8th to 12th September 2025, will bring together leaders from across the Pacific region to address shared challenges and strengthen regional cooperation.
During the launch, Manele unveiled the official theme for the summit: “Iumi together, act now for an integrated Blue Pacific Continent.”
The theme emphasizes unity and immediate action in advancing regional integration and safeguarding the Pacific’s oceanic and cultural heritage.
Also revealed was the official logo for the forum, designed by local artist Philip Tapuika, whose work was selected from among 45 entries.
In recognition of his contribution, Mr Tapuika was awarded a $10,000 cash prize and a certificate of recognition, presented personally by Prime Minister Manele.
“The theme and logo reflect our collective aspirations as Pacific peoples. It is a call for solidarity and meaningful action towards a sustainable, secure and united Pacific,” Manele said during the ceremony.
Preparations for the September forum are now in full swing, with Honiara expected to host a wide range of high-level meetings, cultural showcases and regional dialogues during the event.
