太平洋岛屿论坛在帕劳召开，中国与台湾的外交争夺成为会议焦点。1论坛18个成员国中，基里巴斯、斐济、瓦努阿图、萨摩亚和所罗门群岛的领导人缺席。1中国对台湾作为独立身份参与会议表示"严重关切"。1
尽管存在外交分歧，岛屿领导人强调气候变化、经济安全和毒品犯罪才是首要优先事项。1帕劳总统苏朗格尔·惠普斯强调今年论坛主题为团结，外部合作伙伴"不能选择我们的目的地"。1澳大利亚宣布投入600万澳元资金应对跨国毒品走私问题。1澳大利亚在2023年签署具有里程碑意义的图瓦卢法勒皮利联盟条约，允许该岛国11000居民中的三分之一移民以应对海平面上升。1
在外交承认问题上，基里巴斯正在推动宪法修改，限制外交承认仅限联合国成员国，从而排除台湾。1瑙鲁在2024年终止与台湾的外交关系，转而承认中华人民共和国。1
The Pacific Islands Forum gathered in Palau amid escalating geopolitical tensions, with five of the 18 member states' leaders absent due to Chinese influence concerns.1 Kiribati, Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, and the Solomon Islands did not send their leaders to the meeting.1 China expressed "serious concern" over Taiwan's participation with its own identity at the forum.1
Despite the diplomatic friction, island leaders reaffirmed their regional priorities. Palau's President Surangel Whipps emphasized that this year's forum theme centered on unity, stating that external partners "cannot choose our destination."1 The leaders identified climate change, economic security, and transnational drug trafficking as their foremost concerns.1 Australia pledged AUD 6 million to combat international drug smuggling affecting the region.1
The broader context reflects shifting alliances in the Pacific. Nauru terminated its diplomatic ties with Taiwan in 2024, recognizing the People's Republic of China instead.1 Kiribati is pursuing constitutional amendments to limit diplomatic recognition to United Nations member states, effectively excluding Taiwan.1 Australia signed the 2023 Tuvaluan Falepili Union treaty, which allows one-third of Tuvalu's 11,000 residents to migrate in response to rising sea levels.1
