2022年，南太平洋地区面临地区主义分化、大国竞争加剧等多重挑战，太平洋岛国努力以外交手段修复内部分歧，抵御大国博弈牵扯，在赈灾援助、气候治理等领域推动区域合作。2022年，中国与太平洋岛国关系发展迎来多重突破；美国则空前提高对岛国的战略定位和资源投入；澳大利亚新任政府力求打造对岛国外交“新气象”；日本、新西兰等则持续推进与岛国的发展援助合作。在南太地区大国博弈背景下，太平洋岛国竭力维护独立自主及战略平衡。
In 2022，the South Pacific region faced multiple challenges including cracked regionalism and intensified competition among major powers. Pacific island countries have strived to repair internal differences by diplomatic means，to resist the passive involvement in major power competition，and to promote regional cooperation in a proactive way in areas such as disaster relief assistance and climate governance. 2022 has witnessed the stable development of China-Pacific Islands relationships in multiple areas；the U.S. has enhanced its diplomatic engagement and investment of resources at a record-high level；Australia’s new government sought to create a “new climate” for relations with island countries；Japan and New Zealand continue to promote development assistance cooperation with island countries. In the context of geo-political tensions in the region，the Pacific island countries struggled to maintain their independence and strategic balance.
