[Christopher Landau @DeputySecState]

It was a great honor and pleasure today to pay my respects to King Tupou VI of Tonga at the Royal Palace in Nuku’alofa. Tonga was never colonized, and has been ruled by kings for over 1,000 years. Our two countries are committed to boosting economic and security cooperation. It is a surreal experience to meet someone and then see their face on a coin! 🇺🇸🤝🇹🇴

[Christopher Landau @DeputySecState]

Illegal fishing and drug smuggling are big problems facing Pacific nations, including both the US and Tonga. The Prime Minister and I boarded a visiting US Coast Guard cutter to see its capabilities firsthand. And the Crown Prince and I signed an enhanced “ship rider” agreement to enhance cooperation between the Coast Guard and Tongan authorities. Also great discussions on energy security and fuel storage. Great day for US/Tonga relations! 🇺🇸🤝🇹🇴

[Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs @USAsiaPacific]

The United States is a proud Pacific nation and partner of the Pacific Islands, and we will continue to cooperate on areas of shared interest and values.

Today, Senior Bureau Official Sean O’Neil headlined an interagency roundtable with the Pacific Islands Heads of Mission, to discuss regional security, trade, economic policy, development, investment, and U.S. people-to-people engagement with the Pacific region.

In his inaugural speech at the High-Level Intergenerational Dialogue with @antonioguterres , 11-year-old Prince Taufa'ahau shared the dreams of today’s children for 2050, when the #BluePacificStrategy is hoped to be fully realized. #PIFLM53 1/2

[Elizabeth. V. Kité 🇹🇴 @ElizabethVKite]

Mālō to the Pacific Ministers present at the Pacific Unity meeting #PIFLM53, including Dep Prime Minister of Tonga, Hon. Samiu Vaipulu, for heeding our call to prioritize the #TeieniwaVision Implementation. It is an honor to speak on behalf of #Pacific Civil Society stakeholders.

Government houses for PIFS in Sopu give this area a much needed upgrade 🙌🇹🇴🙏🏾

[National Emergency Management Agency @NZcivildefence]

The National Emergency Management Agency is closely monitoring the impacts for New Zealand from the global IT outages.

It is likely that banking systems, communications and transport (particularly air travel) will experience disruption.

More soon.
