S.1740

Pacific Partnership Act aims to strengthen U.S. engagement with the Pacific Islands.

The Pacific Partnership Act seeks to bolster U.S. engagement with the Pacific Islands region. It emphasizes the importance of the U.S.'s cultural, historic, economic, strategic, and people-to-people connections with the Pacific Islands. The Act mandates the development of a "Strategy for Pacific Partnership" by the President, to be submitted to Congress. This strategy should include overarching goals for U.S. engagement, an assessment of threats to the region, and plans for addressing these threats and resource allocation.
