Foreign Policy

FSM's foreign policy is closely aligned with the United States through the COFA, but it maintains its own UN vote and diplomatic independence. FSM takes a principled approach to Pacific solidarity, sometimes challenging both external powers and fellow Pacific Island states when it perceives regional unity being undermined.

Climate change is the defining foreign policy issue -- FSM's low-lying islands face existential sea-level rise threats.

MUN Delegate Guide

As FSM, balance your close US alignment with Pacific solidarity and independent climate advocacy. Your COFA relationship gives you security but doesn't compromise your voice on existential issues like climate change.

Coordinate with Pacific Islands Forum and AOSIS. Be assertive about Pacific Island states making their own decisions rather than being pawns in great-power competition. Push for ambitious climate targets, ocean conservation, and sustainable fisheries management in your vast EEZ.
