So the question is, where did it come from? How is it resonating today? And why are people worried about intensifying great power conflict in the region? So the first question to Sue.

When the first prime minister... of Fiji addressed the United Nations in 1970 when Fiji became independent, he referred to the peaceful transition of not only Fiji but some of the other Pacific island countries that have been governed by colonial rule to independence.

And he mentioned in particular the Pacific Way, which was articulated as a way of calm, orderly reasoning that was inclusive.

Arguing for peace is not particularly new.

You think of the initiative of the Pacific Island countries in declaring the Pacific a nuclear-free zone.

You think of particularly Fijian forces as peacekeepers in the Middle East.

And it particularly resonates with the current prime minister, Prime Minister Mbuku.

And I mean, how does all of this look from the Pacific perspective?
