What is now the Southern Cooperation Organisation was first the International Cooperation Council, a forum established by Kringalia and Awesomiasa to better coordinate their integration and cooperation efforts. It was given its current name during the 2013 Thanksgiving Summit, when Kringalian President Rodgers and Awesomiasan Vice President Jameson agreed to broaden its scope, from a bilateral institution to a multilateral organisation that other nations in the South Pacific could join, to promote friendship and cooperation in the region.
It is now an organisation dedicated to guaranteeing mutual defence, strengthening economic freedom and openness, promoting cultural and educational development, encouraging democratic values and ensuring peace and friendship throughout the South Pacific. We aim to achieve this through regular summits, cooperation and development programmes and international agreements, with the input of all members and through the search for new members.
Issues of particular interest to the Organisation are the following:
