Joseph Yun: “We should not accept North Korea as a nuclear-weapons state.”

I think we see the presence and influence of China on a daily basis.

I am grateful for the bipartisan approach of this subcommittee regarding the Compacts of Free Association (COFA) with the Freely Associated States (FAS).

The Compacts are at the core of the U.S. commitment to advancing a Pacific that is free and open.

Underpinned by the Compacts, our partnerships with the FAS have formed a bedrock of U.S.-Pacific cooperation for nearly four decades.
