concerning other sub-regions. Most of the Pacific Island countries have undertaken reforms in the telecommunications sector while others are still struggling to

competition such as international interconnection, public private networks, radio spectrum allocation and also dealing with their unique issues such as number

hijacking make the need for a Pacific Policy and Regulation Forum for the Pacific essential for their orderly development.

Since 2007, PRFP has been continuing as a regular event of APT providing policy and regulatory guidance to the members of the Pacific Island countries.

Objectives To facilitate the progress of the Actions to implement the Brunei Darussalam Statement that are relevant to the Pacific;

To adopt measures to accelerate telecom and ICT infrastructure development (particularly broadband) and promote e-applications;

To address key Policy and Regulatory concerns for Pacific;

To consider best practices and further develop regulatory frameworks for Pacific Island Countries.

Agenda To be decided

Expected Output Effective and transparent exchange of views on ICT policy and regulation for Pacific region;

Practical decisions on key issues;

Skill enhancement on ICT policy and regulatory issues;

Enhancing cooperation among PICs on policy and regulatory issues.

Description/Content As APT is a key regional organization fostering the development of ICT and Telecommunications within the region, it has been an obligation to represent itself in

regional and global events. Every year APT receives numerous invitations to attend conferences, meetings, exhibitions and other events. The APT management

strategically chooses the events which will be most beneficial and then send the suitable level of staff to represent APT. As APT collaborates with ITU to a large

extent, it is essential that APT is well represented in most of the Global ITU events. Secretariat support is indispensable for APT Coordination Meetings which are

to be held frequently within the ITU global events to which APT submits a number of APT Common Proposals (ACPs).

There are also several occasions that APT Officials need to travel for official purposes and make a personal presence in order to promote APT and its activities to

international partners and eligible non-members.

Objectives • Represent APT in key regional and global international events relevant to the APT activities;

• Organize APT Coordination Meetings within the ITU global conferences and assemblies;

• Fulfill all official travel requirements that require personal presence and participation;

• Send the relevant staff to represent APT in key regional/global events that are closely related to APT Work programme;

• Promote APT to eligible non-members.

Agenda

Expected Output • Make a strong presence of APT in an international platform and in key global and regional events;
