The review on Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Review of Regional Architecture (RRA) is ongoing.
Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele said that PIF leaders will be discussing the Review of Regional Architecture (RRA) at the Leaders’ Retreat in Noro, in the Western Province.
The RRA involves the structure of institutions, processes, and partnerships focused on achieving the Pacific Islands Forum’s priorities, in line with the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.
The Post-Forum Dialogue (PFD) is a mechanism for selected countries outside the Pacific Islands region to engage in discussions with Pacific Leaders after the main Forum meeting.
“This review of the regional architecture is important in terms of the work of the organisations, CROP agencies included, including the review of the post-forum dialogue mechanism. That’s part of the review of the regional architecture,” PM Manele told local Media Thursday this week.
“I believe this review of the regional architecture will further put us in a good position as a region to address the many challenges facing us, but also to capitalise on the opportunities that are before the region,” said PM Manele.
Secretary to the Prime Minister’s Special Duties, Dr Jimmie Rodgers, said that there are two parts to the reviews.
“Three of my colleagues, Melanesia, we are representing, Polynesia represented by Samoa, and Micronesia by Macedonia. We were reviewing four things. One of them is political leadership and unity,”
“The second is membership of the Forum. The third one is the rationalisation of the regional organisations. And the fourth one is how do you pull the regions together to work more together in areas that we can,” said Dr Rodgers.
