The Pacific Islands Forum is a regional organization that brings together countries in the Pacific Ocean to promote cooperation and address common challenges. Established in 1971, it aims to enhance political, economic, and social development among its member states, which include nations like Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. The Forum provides a platform for dialogue on issues such as climate change, trade, and security. It also works to strengthen relationships between member countries and with external partners, including Australia and New Zealand, to foster sustainable development and regional stability.
