“I want the House to pass this resolution. It shows that the United States remains a strong partner to the Pacific Islands Forum as we work together on security, the economy, and disaster planning.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 1492, our bipartisan resolution reaffirming the enduring partnership between the Pacific Islands Forum and the United States. The United States is a Pacific nation. We share deep and longstanding ties and values with the peoples of the Pacific. The Pacific Islands Forum, currently 18 members strong, has served since 1971 as the Pacific’s premier multilateral political and economic organization, advancing shared priorities, including regional security, economic development, and disaster resilience. The United States has partnered with the PIF for decades to pursue our shared goals of a peaceful, secure, resilient, and prosperous Pacific. As Pacific leaders gather in Palau for the 55th PIF leaders meeting, we wish the PIF continued success and express Congress’ firm resolve that the United States will remain a strong, reliable, and active partner in the Blue Pacific. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support and cosponsor our resolution.”
