  • Pacific Islands governments and communities would get U.S. support focused on disaster resilience, natural resource stewardship, preservation of cultural heritage, and strengthening democratic governance and human rights. These are named as core policy pillars the United States should pursue.
  • Allied and partner countries such as Australia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and Taiwan would be singled out for closer coordination with the United States to advance shared security and economic goals in the region.
  • U.S. agencies and regional institutions would be directed to work through existing multilateral bodies like the Pacific Islands Forum and the Pacific Community and to develop a multifaceted policy that preserves the Pacific Ocean as a corridor for maritime economic opportunity.
