Samoa's Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi says Polynesian countries should revisit the idea of forming a subregional group to deal with issues of common interest to them.

The idea of forming a Polynesian subregional body like the Association of Small Island States and the Melanesian Spearhead Group has been talked about in the past, but has never materialised.

Mr Tuilaepa says besides the preservation of languages culture and traditions, sub-regionalism can also provide better platforms for the effective delivery of programs in the sub-region and in the wider region as a whole.

The Samoan Prime Minister said this while speaking on the theme of Pacific Regionalism in an address to mark the Pacific Islands Forum 40th Anniversary Leaders' Lecture Series.
