The Director of the Fiji Ministry of Youth and Sports, William Naisara, says he is pleased to see the need to invest in youth is coming through very clearly as a Pacific priority.
Pacific leaders met in Auckland last week to ensure the region's priorities will be reflected when the United Nations sets new global sustainable development goals later this year.
Mr Naisara was part of the Fiji delegation at the meeting and says he's happy youth is a regional priority.
However, in the draft sustainable development goals, he says some Pacific supported goals are not featuring as prominently as they should.
"And one of which is youth. We are being guided towards what processes are available to us, to elevate these issues that are not featuring as prominent as we would like in the sustainable development goals, and that is something which includes young people, and the issues affecting youth in the region."
