The statement added, \u201cThese engagements reflect the FSM Government’s commitment to maintaining strong relationships with its international partners and advancing cooperation in support of national priorities. The discussions provided an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, discuss shared priorities, and identify new ways to work together in support of the people of the Federated States of Micronesia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The balance of summer will see more opportunities for Micronesia\u2019s multilateralism with the coming Micronesia Islands Forum in Pohnpei July 15-17 and the Pacific Islands Forum in Palau August 30-September. These meetings will further fortify Micronesia\u2019s global voice as it prepares for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 31) in Antalya, T\u00fcrkiye, from November 9 to 20, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
