太平洋岛国主要分布在太平洋南部,地理上属于大洋洲地区,总体来说经济发展比较滞后。长期以来,亚洲开发银行通过开展提供贷款、联合融资和赠款、技术支持等援助方式,支持太平洋岛国在各项基础设施、公共服务等领域的发展。亚洲开发银行对太平洋岛国的援助,一方面与亚洲开发银行本身的任务和宗旨密切相关,另一方面也与亚洲开发银行的最大“股东”(美国和日本)的整体外交政策理念和战略高度吻合。亚洲开发银行作为援助太平洋岛国的重要非政府组织,其在援助的理念、援助的重点领域和援助的机制方面存在显著的特征。

The Asian Development Bank has assisted to the Pacific Island Countries,on the one hand,because the assistance is closely related to its missions and objectives,on the other hand,due to its largest shareholders’(the United States and Japan)foreign policy and strategic concern. The Asian Development Bank is an important non-governmental organization which plays a significant role in aiding the Pacific island countries. The Asian Development Bank features prominently with the concept,the mechanism and the central areas of assistance.
