Guam to Host 26th Micronesian Islands Forum

Guam is preparing to host the 26th Micronesian Islands Forum “Writing Our History, Determining Our Future” scheduled for June 3 to June 5, 2024 at the Hyatt Regency Guam. The Micronesian Islands Forum (MIF) is a regional intergovernmental organization composed of island nations and territories in the Micronesia subregion of the Pacific Ocean. Established in 1994, MIF has held regular meetings since then. The most recent meeting was held in February 2023 in Pohnpei, FSM. 

“United as island nations, we stand at the forefront of global challenges. Only through steadfast collaboration can we navigate the currents of sustainable development, climate change, ocean conservation, economic prosperity, cultural richness, and regional security, ensuring a resilient future for generations to come,” said Governor Leon Guerrero. “The forum will feature our esteemed Governors, Presidents, and representatives from all over Micronesia working together to strengthen ties, further collaboration, and deepen commitments throughout the region. Our Guam public is encouraged to register for this free event and participate in learning and growing together.”

Members include the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Republic of Palau, the Territory of Guam (US), Nauru, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (US), the States of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae (FSM).
