From 26-30 August 2024, the 53rd Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting will be hosted by Tonga and chaired by the Prime Minister of Tonga, Hon Hu’akavemeiliku Siaosi Sovaleni. Tonga’s vision for the 53rd Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting is for the Pacific to move beyond policy deliberation to implementation – to achieve transformation by building better now. Tonga recognises the importance of resilience, which cuts across all seven thematic areas of the 2050 Strategy.
The Pacific Islands Forum Leaders meet annually to develop collective responses to regional issues and deliver on their vision for a resilient Pacific Region of peace, harmony, security, social inclusion and prosperity, that ensures all Pacific peoples can lead free, healthy and productive lives.
Leaders will convene, engage in discussions and agree on policies that will ultimately benefit the people of the region. This gathering is a unique opportunity for Leaders to address pressing issues and challenges facing the Blue Pacific Continent, and foster collaboration and cooperation in the pursuit of shared goals.
