The Pacific Islands countries had generally remained a political stability throughout 2021 and continued to shift their focus to non-traditional challenges，such as the COVID-19 pandemic，economic recovery and the climate change. The Pacific Islands countries as a whole had experienced difficulty in promoting economic recovery due to their imbalanced economic structure and marginalized position in the global economic system. The Islands countries had continued to advance their “Blue Pacific” program on the one hand，and on the other，to enhance their economic cooperation with Asian countries，including China，by pursuing the “Look North” strategy for economic recovery. The political unity among the PICs，and particularly their “one voice” about the climate change in the international community，caused misgivings among the former colonial powers. They thereby worked together to divide the PICs by compelling some PICs to retreat from the Pacific Islands Forum，which led the regional efforts in seeking political and economic integration to a setback.
