The United States and Pacific island nations have signed up to a new era of cooperation, making climate change the “highest priority” and promising to work together to ensure a peaceful region where “democracy is allowed to flourish”.The Declaration on US-Pacific Partnership, signed by 14 Pacific island nations, came at the end of an unprecedented two-day summit in Washington, DC, which took place five months after a security deal between the Solomon Islands and China raised concern about Beijing’s growing influence in the region.“We honored the history and values that our nations share and expanded our cooperation on key areas that will benefit our people for years to come,” US President Joe Biden wrote on Twitter after the summit concluded.
