MOFA thanks PIF leaders for reaffirming Taiwan’s participation status

September 13, 2025

This year's Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) was held in Solomon Islands from September 8 to 12. The forum communiqué issued following the meeting reiterated the decision from the 1992 communiqué regarding Taiwan's participation in the PIF, thus reaffirming consensus among leaders of PIF member states in support of Taiwan's unchanged participation status in the PIF.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) welcomes and appreciates this development. It thanks leaders of PIF member states for expressing support and consensus on Taiwan's participation in PIF affairs as a development partner.

Since 1993, Taiwan has taken part in the PIF under the name Taiwan / Republic of China and continued to collaborate and engage with PIF member states as a development partner. Going forward, Taiwan will continue to uphold the spirit of diversity and inclusiveness embodied in the Pacific Way and contribute to peace, stability, and prosperity in the Pacific region in accordance with the decisions contained in the 1992 and 2025 forum communiqués.
