This Framework for Pacific Regionalism was endorsed by Pacific Islands Forum Leaders in July 2014. It replaces the Pacific Plan for Strengthening Regional Cooperation and Integration.
The Framework is intended to support “focussed political conversations and
settlements that address key strategic issues, including shared sovereignty, pooling resources and delegating decision-making” (Forum Leaders’ Special Retreat on the Pacific Plan Review, Cook Islands, May 2014). Rather than providing a list of regional priorities, it sets out a robust process through which regional priorities will be identified and implemented.
