With a focus on strengthening the legal foundations for e-commerce in the Pacific, the adoption of UNCITRAL model laws on electronic transactions is a key priority. By introducing internationally recognised, technology-neutral standards for electronic contracts, signatures, and paperless trade, this initiative helps address gaps in existing legislation, build trust in digital systems, and create a more enabling environment for cross-border trade and investment, while supporting countries to implement reforms in a phased and practical manner.
