House elected not to extend

On September 28–29, 2022, the Biden administration hosted the US-Pacific Island Country Summit. According to the Department of State, the event was intended to demonstrate the “deep and enduring partnership” between the United States and the Pacific Island countries. Prior to the summit, the White House elected not to extend invitations to either the Cook Islands or Niue. That decision was met with protests from regional leaders who argued that the US government should have extended invitations to all of the member states of the Pacific Islands Forum. Ultimately, the Biden administration reversed course. The US government extended belated invitations to the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Niue. At the summit, the White House released the first-ever Pacific Partners Strategy, which articulated a set of national planning priorities for the Pacific Islands region. สล็อตเว็บตรง
