OUTGOING PIDF CHAIR CONFIDENT IN NEW CHAIR

He adds, the Principles that underpin PIDF are inclusiveness, sustainability, innovation, leadership, and partnership.

Bainimarama believes, it is important in the evolution of the Framework of Pacific Regionalism that it would be in PIDF’s interest to acknowledge the apparent overlaps with the existing agencies of the Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific.

The Outgoing Chair says PIDF Members will need to clarify roles so that we can complement rather than compete with one another.

He describes this as a collective responsibility and a common cause for the Pacific People.
