During the general debate of the sixtieth session , we noted in this historic Hall that the United Nations and its offices and agencies did not have a permanent presence in many of the small island developing States of the Pacific . In June 2006 , it was announced that a coalition of the United Nations Development Programme ( UNDP ) , United Nations Children 's Fund ( UNICEF ) and United Nations Population Fund ( UNFPA ) would open a total of eight new offices in the Pacific island countries .
