The Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC) Summit, hosted in Papua New Guinea, served as a significant platform for fostering cooperation in various areas such as trade, investment, climate change, and sustainable development. This multinational grouping, established in 2014, aimed to promote collaboration between India and 14 Pacific Islands nations, including Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.

The Significance of Full Participation

One of the key highlights of this year’s FIPIC Summit was the full participation of leaders from all 14 countries. This was a rare occurrence due to connectivity and other challenges faced by these nations. The convergence of these countries underscored the importance and potential of strengthening ties between India and the Pacific region.

It aimed to enhance mutual understanding, cooperation, and development in various sectors.
