Congratulations to the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the launch of the Tonga National Youth Policy & Strategic Plan of Action 2026–2030 and the Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality Tonga III Policy 2026–2030.

Both policies are anchored in National Outcome 2 of the Tonga Strategic Development Framework 2035, which calls for the empowerment of people and communities.

In his keynote address, Prime Minister Lord Fakafanua emphasized that “these policies belong to all of us,” calling for collective commitment and investment in their implementation to achieve “a resilient Tonga by 2035, grounded on God and Tonga are our inheritance,” and to ensure that nobody is left behind.

These two policies, reaffirm the Government of Tonga’s commitment to youth development, and gender equity.
