英文研究报告 2022年10月17日 07:56 管理员

The Pacific Islands region faces daunting and mounting challenges. Chief among these challenges is the climate crisis, an existential threat to many Pacific Islands. The United States is committed to maintaining its global leadership in combatting the climate crisis, while partnering with the Pacific Islands in adapting to and managing the impacts of climate change on lives, health, and livelihoods. The region also faces challenges to security and sovereignty, including in the maritime domain. The BidenHarris Administration will work in partnership with Pacific governments and people to ensure they have the autonomy and security to advance their own interests. We support the Pacific Islands as they guard against corruption and protect the dignity of Pacific Islanders.

To fully empower the Pacific to capitalize on the opportunities of the 21st century, the United States is committed to increasing trade and investment with the Pacific Islands; expanding people-to-people ties, including through the Peace Corps; increasing English-language programming and overall professional advancement; bolstering health architecture in the Pacific; and providing educational and development opportunities for Pacific Islanders, with a particular focus on women and youth.What we seek to achieve with our Pacific partners is as important as how we do so. The Biden-Harris Administration will take the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) as its guide; that forum has stated it seeks “effective, open and honest relationships and inclusive and enduring partnerships—based on mutual accountability and respect.”

As we pursue these partnerships, our approach will align with the Administration’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, which envisions a free, open, interconnected, secure, resilient, and prosperous region, and specifically commits in its action plan to “Partner to Build Resilience in the Pacific Islands.”We will fulfill our historical commitments and strengthen our enduring relationships with the full Pacific Islands region, including our special relationship with the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia.
