UN General Assembly
2022

We also adopted the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent, which we just launched this afternoon in New York. It represents an important bridge into the future — a unique opportunity for our region to develop long-term approaches to address our common challenges. The solidarity of our region will strengthen our collective sense of Pacific regionalism and the security of the Blue Pacific continent, and we therefore ask our partners to assist us — and not to divide us in any way. The key message for the United Nations and all countries in the world that engage with the Pacific is that Micronesia and the rest of the Pacific Islands Forum solicit all countries that engage with the Pacific to support and respect the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent. It is the Pacific region’s road map for sustainable development and growth and the security of current and future generations. We can succeed in implementing it only if we work together with the support of our international partners.
