As the only Pacific leader invited to this high-profile event, Rabuka’s participation underscores the importance of elevating the Pacific voice on crucial matters such as regional and maritime security, the impacts of climate change as a security threat, and the promotion of the Ocean of Peace Concept, which envisions the Pacific as a zone of peace amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

In his remarks, Rabuka expressed his anticipation for engaging in meaningful discussions with world leaders and industry leaders. He emphasized Fiji’s commitment to international cooperation and collaborative action in tackling the intricate security challenges facing not only the Pacific but the wider global community. This emphasis on dialogue and collaboration provides a hopeful outlook for future partnerships aimed at enhancing security and stability in the region.
