From Fiji Think Thank on Geopolitical tensions challenge Pacific regionalism
Well articulated, Nione Eliuta. It's a Catch 22 situation for Solomon Islands. You're absolutely 'OnPoint'. #PacificWay ought to prevail and not be bulldozed by external influences outside Oceania as in this instance. Each sovereign state in Oceania ought to be given the right to make a decision as to who each aligns with.

From Xavier Winnia on Geopolitical tensions challenge Pacific regionalism
There must be a clear line drawn between China's enemy in the region and our (PIF) enemy. And SI must make that clear demarcation; the region must not watch while China rewrites the Nuku'alofa Communique. To do so will not be in the interest of a greater peaceful Pacific.

From Peter Brimble on Bridging the divide: building Pacific agency in the AI era
Thank you, Dr Watson, for these great insights and links to resources.
On recognition of risks in the Pacific Islands, we fully agree, and we do mention this.
On strategies, our advice is that each country needs to develop a national AI strategy and local governance mechanisms which are crucial to addressing emerging risks. In principal, we agree with the possibility of building AI issues into broader digital policies, but on the other hand, given how fast AI is evolving we may need specific AI strategies to ensure more flexibility and the ability to adjust and update frequently. We note that, in ASEAN, the AI Guide was recently updated in January 2025 specifically to deal with risks and opportunities of generative AI, for example.
Equally important is enabling strong regional cooperation, which remains key for the region to foster the responsible adoption of AI. This is why we’ve proposed an AI Technical Facility as a potential mechanism to support such efforts.
Thanks again and looking forward to future engagement.
