Australia eventually led the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands in July 2003, after obtaining the endorsement of the Forum Foreign Affairs Ministers' Meeting and the Solomon Islands Parliament's passage of the enabling legislation giving powers to the mission. The regional military intervention in Solomon Islands brought a change to the relations between the Pacific Islands Countries and Australia in the Forum. Australia, which used to take a cautious attitude toward exercising leadership in the Forum, started to show an orientation for leadership. The election of an Australian diplomat as the first non-Pacific Islander Secretary General of the Forum signified this change, as well as the inauguration of another Australian diplomat as the head of the mission. If the perception, that Australia conveniently used the Forum to avoid criticisms on neo-colonialism, spreads among the Pacific Islands Countries, the Forum will lose confidence of the Pacific Islands Countries and weaken its function as a regional organization.
