  • Historic visit by US Secretary of State to Micronesia
    Recently the US Secretary of State came to Micronesia. He met with the leaders of FSM, RMI and Palau. He brought great news about renegotiations of our compact of free association with the USA. It is great news. Over in Guam, our neighbors and a US colony, the news was not so great. We talk about that and what this visit means to Micronesians.
