Fijian Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka's 'Ocean of Peace' initiative is slated for approval at the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting in Honiara next month.
Rabuka first introduced the concept at the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) in Rarotonga in 2023. He proposed that Pacific leaders agree on a set of principles that "embed peace as the cornerstone of our individual and collective policies".
He told the Fijian parliament in August last year that the initiative was "both an inspiration and a pathway to a regional arrangement crafted by the states of the Pacific region by other powers."
