Strengthening Partnerships with Fellow Micronesians

Last week, I had the great opportunity to meet with Members of the Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia: Senator Andy Choor of Yap, Senator Fabian Nimea of Chuuk, and Senator Johnson Asher of Kosrae, along with FSM Ambassador to the United States Jackson Soram. We discussed issues of mutual concern, implementation of the Compact of Free Association, and my efforts to expand access to VA benefits for veterans in Micronesia. The FSM and the Marianas share a longstanding history of friendship, family ties, and cultural connections that span generations. I reaffirmed that my door is always open to our fellow Micronesians, and I look forward to continuing our strong partnership.
