Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution reaffirms the House of Representatives' support for a strong partnership between the United States and the Pacific Islands Forum, an organization of 18 Pacific Island countries and territories with a combined population of roughly 46.5 million people spread across an area the size of Africa. The resolution expresses the House's commitment to working with the PIF on shared priorities including maritime security, disaster resilience, economic development, and ocean governance, while respecting the sovereignty and leadership of Pacific Island nations. It specifically supports scheduling a high-level U.S.-Pacific Island Countries Summit and encourages continued American engagement with Pacific regional institutions. The resolution also references the U.S. pledge of $20 million to capitalize the Pacific Resilience Facility, a disaster resilience financing mechanism led by Pacific Island nations. This is a symbolic resolution expressing the House's intent rather than legislation that creates binding requirements or appropriates new funding.
