Counselor to the President John Podesta will lead a high-level U.S. government delegation to the Pacific Islands Forum Post Forum Dialogue on Aug. 1 in Koror, Palau, to highlight and build upon our historic relations with the peoples and nations of the Pacific.

The U.S. delegation will include senior officials from the National Security Council, United States Pacific Command, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of State, Department of the Interior, U.S. Peace Corps, U.S. Agency for International Development, and the State of Hawaii.

Following former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s attendance at the PIF PFD in 2012 and Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell’s attendance as head of delegation in 2013, this high-level delegation demonstrates continued U.S. commitment to the rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region and to issues that are of utmost importance to the Pacific Islands, including oceans, climate change, renewable energy, economic growth, sustainable development and environmental conservation.
