Partners in the Blue Pacific (PBP) Workshop
Overview
This 2.5-day workshop brings together senior officials from Partners, the Pacific Islands, the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, and other key partner countries for this purpose. The workshop features a series of plenary discussions led by regional subject matter experts deepening shared understanding of the challenges of IUUF and MDA, particularly as they relate to the Pacific Islands, culminating in the identification of potential PBP activities in each area and associated next steps. Supplementing these plenaries are dedicated times for bilateral or multilateral meetings among participants for more in-depth discussion on topics of mutual interest. A final concluding plenary will offer an opportunity for a summation of workshop outcomes together with discussion of the wider PBP way-ahead.
