Fiji plays a very important role in the Oceania region South Pacific Forum. Being a founding and leading member of the South Pacific Forum, it is committed to assisting its neighbouring island countries in their development. Fiji will continue to support regional cooperation in the Pacific Islands region, acting in concert with its neighbouring countries.

Fiji, endowed with forest, mineral, and fish resources, is one of the more developed of the Pacific Island economies, though still with a large subsistence sector. Natural resources include timber, fish, gold, copper, offshore oil and hydropower. Tourism is a major industry in the country, with the majority of international visitors arriving from Australia, New Zealand, and the USA.
