IV. Regional Economic Cooperation

32. Tuvalu's priorities for economic and regional cooperation are: (i) cooperative arrangements in aviation and shipping, and (ii) coordinated policies and approaches to the management of fisheries. To these ends, the ADB is actively involved with the Forum Secretariat and other regional agencies in a variety of regional initiatives.

33. The ADB currently provides regional technical assistance (RETA) to support the negotiation of a regional tuna management plan, and for fiscal and tax policy advice provided through the Pacific Financial Technical Centre. In the coming years, the ADB plans to provide RETAs for: (i) analysis of financial sector issues and strategies for selected PDMCs; (ii) judicial training in collaboration with UNDP; and (iii) more effective and sustainable coastal fisheries management.
