On behalf of the Pacific Community, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful and safe festive season and a Happy New Year!
2024 has been a year of remarkable milestones and celebrations. As part of the key milestones of the year, we celebrated the Pacific culture through the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture in Hawaiʻi, we committed to greater advancements in gender equality during the 15th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women and 8th Meeting of Pacific Ministers for Women in the Marshall Islands, focused on working towards common goals with our members, contributed to raise youth voices at the Pacific Youth Ministers Meeting, supported countries in regional and international fora to feature science in action, and celebrated the 1st Anniversary of the SPC Polynesia Regional Office. These events strengthened our regional cooperation, and we are proud of the collective progress toward shared development goals.
As we move into 2025, we are looking forward to high-impact gatherings, including the 2025 UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France in June 2025; and the 55th meeting of the Committee of Representatives of Governments and Administrations and the 14th Conference to be hosted by Tonga, home to our SPC Polynesia Regional Office.
We want to express our sincere thanks for your continued support over the past year. Your collaboration remains integral to the success of our mission and the sustainable development of our Blue Pacific region.
As SPC’s offices close for the festive season, we look forward to continuing our work together in 2025, tackling the region’s challenges and building on our shared vision for a prosperous Pacific.
May the coming year bring health, happiness, and success to you and your families.
Warmest Regards,
Your Pacific Community
