Abstract

The 53rd Pacific Islands Forum was held in Nuku’alofa in the Kingdom of Tonga from 26 to 30 August 2024. Besides the Heads of State and Heads of Government, the Forum was attended by Associate Members, regional organizations, development partners and the UN Secretary-General. The Forum was significant because it discussed the trajectory and direction of the regional architecture. Other issues discussed included climate change, oceans, regional security, health and education. Interestingly, two communiques were published. The first version included a section in which Pacific leaders affirmed their relations with Taiwan. That section was omitted from the second version which was issued as the correct version of the PIF Communique.
