Message from the Host

As host and incoming Chair of the 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting (PIFLM), it is my distinct honour to warmly welcome you all to the Hapi Isles.

The Government and People of Solomon Islands look forward to receiving you all our visitors with true Solomon Islands pride and hospitality rooted in our rich and diverse cultures.

The Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting will be held in Honiara from 8-12 September 2025. The gathering of leaders is guided by our shared values, kastom and wantok spirit that unite and bind the Pacific as one people and one ocean.

The theme of the 54th PIFLM celebrates 54-year journey of the Pacific Islands Forum:
“Iumi Tugeda: Act Now for an Integrated Blue Pacific Continent”.

This theme is both a call to action and a reaffirmation of who we are — one Blue Pacific Continent. A call to strengthen regionalism, act with a sense of purpose for an integrated, resilient, and sustainable Pacific.

As we navigate through a new era of international cooperation, it demands our collective commitment to work together to transform our economies, bring prosperity to our people and secure our Blue Pacific Continent. Our solidarity is measured by the actions we take on our shared economic, social and environmental frameworks.

“Iumi Tugeda” is a commitment to move together from Strategy to Action. Together, we signal to the world that the Pacific stands united for an integrated Blue Pacific Continent.
Tagio tumas and lukim iu fala!

Jeremiah Manele, MP
Chair and Host, Prime Minister of Solomon Islands

PRIME MINISTER MANELE ENCOURAGES MEDIA TO TELL PACIFIC STORIES

Category: Media

Honiara, Friday 5 September 2025 – Prime Minister Hon. Jeremiah Manele (MP) has encouraged Pacific journalists attending the Regional Media Workshop in Honiara to continue telling the stories of the Pacific, ensuring regional decisions are meaningful and accessible to all Pacific peoples.

Speaking at the official opening of the workshop, convened by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) in partnership with the Pacific Islands News Association (PINA) and the Media Association of Solomon Islands (MASI), Prime Minister Manele said the role of media was vital in shaping the collective journey of the Blue Pacific.

“Our people will ask: ‘What does this mean for me? For my family? For my community?’ It is through your work that those answers will be found,” he said.

The Prime Minister emphasised that the voices of Pacific communities must be heard beyond official communiqués and high-level strategies. He called on the media to reflect the challenges, aspirations, and resilience of Pacific peoples as leaders deliberate on the Forum theme, “Iumi Tugeda: Act Now for an Integrated Blue Pacific Continent.”

“You will tell the stories and make these regional decisions meaningful for everyday Pacific Islanders,” he said. “Through your reporting, the messages of our leaders will reach communities, helping people understand the decisions and discussions that affect their lives.”

Prime Minister Manele acknowledged the commitment of journalists working in small, under-resourced newsrooms and thanked them for their resilience and service to the region. He urged them to uphold balance and ethics in their reporting while also highlighting the strengths and unity of Pacific peoples.

“The canoe of the Blue Pacific has already set sail,” the Prime Minister said. “If we paddle together, guided by our shared values and united in purpose, we will reach our destination.”

The Regional Media Workshop precedes the 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting, where media will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between regional policy decisions and the daily lives of Pacific Islanders.

PRIME MINISTER MANELE WELCOMES PACIFIC MEDIA TO HONIARA

Honiara, Friday 5 September 2025 – 

Prime Minister Hon. Jeremiah Manele (MP) has officially welcomed Pacific media representatives to Honiara at the opening of the Regional Media Workshop, convened by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) in partnership with the Pacific Islands News Association (PINA) and the Media Association of Solomon Islands (MASI).

The workshop is being held in the lead-up to the 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting next week.

In his keynote address, Prime Minister Manele extended his gratitude to PIFS and PINA, commending their commitment to strengthening Pacific regionalism through media support.

“Hosting the Forum for the third time, after 1979 and 1992, reflects our commitment to Pacific solidarity and to the values of unity and cooperation that lie at the heart of the Pacific Way,” Prime Minister Manele said.

This year’s Forum theme, “Iumi Tugeda: Act Now for an Integrated Blue Pacific Continent,” was described by the Prime Minister as both a reflection of Pacific identity and a call to urgent action.

“Iumi Tugeda – ‘We are together’ – speaks to our identity as Pacific peoples. Act Now – our challenges demand urgent actions. An Integrated Blue Pacific Continent – this is our shared vision of a peaceful, resilient, and future-ready Pacific,” he said.

The Prime Minister emphasised the role of the media as more than observers, but as “participants and partners” in translating regional decisions into meaningful stories for Pacific communities.

“Our people will ask: ‘What does this mean for me? For my family? For my community?’ It is through your work that those answers will be found,” he said.

Prime Minister Manele also acknowledged the difficult working conditions of many Pacific journalists, often in under-resourced newsrooms, and thanked them for their dedication to informing, connecting, and empowering communities.

He urged the media to foster trust by reporting with balance and ethics, particularly as the region implements the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.

“Success will not be measured by communiqués alone. It will be measured by the trust of our people and the real changes they can see and feel in their daily lives,” he said.

Closing his remarks, the Prime Minister likened the Pacific journey to a canoe navigating uncertain waters:

“The canoe of the Blue Pacific has already set sail. The waters may be uncertain, but if we paddle together, guided by our shared values and united in purpose, we will reach our destination.”

The Regional Media Workshop runs ahead of the 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting, where media representatives will play a key role in ensuring regional decisions are communicated meaningfully to Pacific people.
