The Biden administration on Sept. 29 released a strategic framework for ties with Pacific Island nations, the first document of its kind. The move came amid heightened actions by the Chinese regime to draw the region under its influence.

The Pacific Partnership Strategy (pdf) would help to increase engagement and prosperity in the region, as well as undergirding national security interests, the White House said in a statement.
