Message from Joseph-Movick Administration

"Kaselehlie maingko and welcome to Pohnpei. It is with great honor and heartfelt pleasure that the

people and Government of Pohnpei welcome you to our island home for the 28th Micronesian

Islands Forum. Pohnpei is a land rich in cultural heritage, ancient traditions, and natural beauty,

where respect, unity, and hospitality remain at the heart of our way of life.

As leaders, partners, and friends gather from across Micronesia, we celebrate not only our shared

aspirations for the future but also the unique cultures and histories that bind our islands together.

May this Forum strengthen our regional solidarity, deepen our cooperation, and inspire collective

action for the benefit of our peoples and future generations.

On behalf of the people of Pohnpei, I extend our warmest welcome and wish you a productive,

meaningful, and memorable stay in our island paradise."

Stevenson A. Joseph

Governor

State of Pohnpei
