Melanesian Spearhead Group

The Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) is a regional organization formed in 1986, consisting of countries in Melanesia, primarily Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. It aims to foster cooperation among these nations on issues like politics, economy, culture, and security. The MSG promotes unity and self-determination, especially for indigenous peoples. By working together, member countries strive to enhance their regional influence, improve stability, and support development initiatives, while preserving their unique cultural identities. The MSG serves as a platform for collaboration to address common challenges and opportunities in the region.
