The Pacific countries and the EU are key partners in support of multilateralism and the rules-based international order and we share important priorities: climate change, protection of the oceans, biodiversity, peace and security. The EU’s Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific recognises that prosperity and security of our regions are linked. The Partnership Agreement between the EU and the Organisation of the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (the Samoa Agreement) and its Pacific Regional Protocol provides the framework for a more strategic partnership. The EU’s Global Gateway strategy aims to build reliable partnerships and to deliver quality and sustainable investments to support green and digital transitions beyond Europe’s borders.
