Following a Close Campaign of lobbying and presentations at the 2004 Pacific Games Council Annual Assembly in Palau, The Cook Islands delegations led by President Tiki Matapo won the confidence of delegates to host these Games over a heart-broken Wallis and Futuna.
For Cook Islands, it was great relief after failing in their bid to host the 2005 Games and they came out with 'All Guns Blazing' to win the 2009 event.
Wallis and Futuna won many friends with their bid and are sure to return for another try and success at the 2013 Games.
Congratulations Cook Islands.
