The Pacific Youth Anthem has been officially handed over to the Pacific Community by Minister for Youth and Sports Jese Saukuru. Composed by Fiji’s National Youth Band, the anthem will serve as the official song of the Pacific Youth Development Framework, representing the aspirations and shared experiences of young people across 14 Pacific Island countries. “As the outgoing Chair of the Pacific Ministers for Youth Meeting, it is my great pleasure to hand over this anthem to the Pacific Youth Development Framework under the custodianship of SPC and the Pacific Youth Council.” The anthem is expected to strengthen a sense of regional identity while encouraging greater collaboration among Pacific youth. The Pacific Youth Anthem will now be promoted across member countries as the official anthem of the Pacific Youth Development Framework.
