This resolution affirms the importance of the U.S. relationship with the Pacific Islands and recognizes the importance of U.S.-Pacific Island partnerships to promote peace, security, and prosperity for all countries through a rules-based regional order that respects the sovereignty and political independence of all nations. The resolution urges the Biden Administration to continue to work with the Pacific Islands to preserve the Pacific Ocean as an open and vibrant corridor for international maritime trade; promote sustainable development; and address socioeconomic challenges related to public health, education, renewable energy, and digital connectivity. The resolution reaffirms the support of the House of Representatives for (1) regional efforts to address the challenges posed by climate change; and (2) the vision, values, and objectives of existing regional multilateral institutions and frameworks, such as the Pacific Islands Forum, the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders, and the Pacific Community. Finally, the resolution recognizes the importance of working closely with U.S. allies and partners with existing relationships and interests in the Pacific Islands, including Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Taiwan, in advancing common goals.
