The Government of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) joins the international community in commemorating United Nations Day, marking the 81st anniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations Charter on October 24, 1945.
Since joining the United Nations in 1991, the FSM has remained steadfast in its commitment to the principles of the Charter, including the promotion of international peace, security, mutual respect, and cooperation among nations. As a Small Island Developing State, the FSM values the United Nations as an essential platform for advancing its national priorities and ensuring that the voices of all nations, regardless of size, are heard and respected.
This commitment was reaffirmed during the recent 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, where Vice President Aren B. Palik delivered the FSM’s national statement, underscoring the importance of collective action in addressing climate change, protecting the oceans, advancing sustainable development, and strengthening international partnerships.
On this occasion, the Government of the Federated States of Micronesia extends its warm greetings and best wishes to the United Nations and its fellow Member States. The FSM remains committed to working alongside the international community to uphold the principles of the United Nations Charter, address shared challenges, and advance a more peaceful, resilient, and sustainable future for all.
Happy United Nations Day!
