BACKGROUND PAPERS

The Pacific Plan for Strengthening Regional Cooperation and Integration
The Pacific Plan was endorsed by Leaders at the Pacific Islands Forum meeting in October 2005. It is a ‘living’ document ensuring flexibility so that the Vision of the Leaders and the goal of regional integration extend far into the future. This revised version of the Pacific Plan follows decisions taken by Leaders at the Forum meeting in October 2006 where they welcomed the considerable progress made in implementing the Pacific Plan, noted the key challenges that need to be overcome in order for the Plan to continue to be effectively implemented, and agreed on a number of key commitments in order to move the Plan forward.

The Pacific Youth Strategy
