Micronesia announces adoption of national migration policy at UNGA

Vice President Aron Palik announced that Micronesia has adopted a national migration policy with technical support from the International Organization for Migration. He said the policy is intended to strengthen protection, engagement and well‑being of citizens including members of the diaspora and aligns Micronesia with the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

Palik did not detail legislative steps or funding for implementation in the address; he said the policy will help strengthen protection and well‑being for citizens overseas and support humane, orderly and well‑managed international migration frameworks. He welcomed the Global Compact's framework as complementary to Micronesia's new national policy.
