Answer

We reaffirmed the Forum's role as stewards of our vision for a resiliant Pacific region of peace, security, and prosperity. In keeping with this theme, officials and I spoke to a range of regional security issues and initiatives including Waqa Moana, the Forum Police Ministers Meeting and the proposal for a regional security treaty.
