We stand at a crossroad, confronted by a world of interconnected complex crises and geopolitical tensions, and our collective well-being hinges on our ability to forge a new path towards a more sustainable, equitable, and peaceful future.

This was the sentiment echoed by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka while delivering the country’s statement at the EU Indo-Pacific Ministerial Forum in Brussels.

Rabuka says they must work together as a collective to recognise the limited capacity and address global challenges individually.

He adds they welcome the EU Indo-Pacific Strategy and Global Gateway initiative, in promoting geostrategic cooperation to achieve common goals.

The Prime Minister also called for collaborative efforts to transcend geographical boundaries and build partnerships founded on mutual respect and understanding.

On the regional front, the Prime Minister acknowledged the impact of geopolitical tensions and the escalating climate crisis on the Pacific region.

He also commended the recent endorsement of the Samoa Agreement, marking an important milestone in strengthening bilateral ties between the EU and OACP member States.
