We serve the Blue Pacific Continent through learning, policy engagement and regional collaboration.
Who We Are
The Pacific Security College is an educational institution dedicated to a peaceful, safe and secure future for all the people of the Blue Pacific.
Our mission is to be of service to Pacific Islands Forum member countries, through training courses, learning opportunities, policy engagement and regional collaboration.
Our work supports the Boe Declaration on Regional Security and closely aligns with the commitments made in the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent. We serve the Pacific community by addressing traditional and non-traditional security concerns through our short courses on priority security issues.
- Download Boe Declaration on Regional Security The Boe Declaration on Regional Security proposes a comprehensive concept of security for the Blue Pacific Continent ‘so that all Pacific people can lead free, healthy and productive lives’. It focuses on human, climate, cyber and environmental security, and transnational crime. The declaration also frames regional responses to emerging security issues. Pacific Islands Forum Leaders adopted the declaration in Nauru on 5 September 2018.
- Download 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent Pacific leaders recognise that building a strong and resilient Pacific requires careful planning. At stake is our collective home, shared heritage and the health and wellbeing of our people. The 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent envisions a long-term plan for the region and outlines the steps to achieve it. It’s a regional strategy to protect and secure the future for Pacific people, places and prospects.
