Continental Air Micronesia links five of the seven countries and territories shown on our map of Micronesia: the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Republic of Palau. All four states of the Federated States of Micronesia - Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk, and Yap - are on the Continental Micronesia "Island Hopper" routings. Air Nauru is the airline serving Nauru and the Republic of Kiribati from Australia and Fiji. Resorts and hotels exist on all the islands, making a Micronesian vacation quite practical. The history of Micronesia begins 3,000 years ago when the first canoes traveled to the islands from South East Asia. Much later the culture of Micronesia was influenced by Spain, Germany, Japan, and the United States. The Federated States of Micronesia grew out of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands created after World War Two. The Marshall Islands and Palau seceded from the Trust Territory to form countries of their own, while the Northern Marianas joined the United States.

Extractions: The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) are made up of four States, namely Pohnpei (the capital), Chuuk, Yap, and Kosrae. Each of the four states has its own executive, legislatory and judiciary body, with responsibilities for state-wide economic and social development, including health and education. Regional development is carried out following overall national development plans approved by a national consensus. Each state has retained a significant degree of autonomy. Distinct cultural and historical traditions, caused by geographical dispersion, present a major challenge in maintaining national unity and in the planning and execution of national development policies. The broad social indicators of the country are, however, generally poor. Literacy rates and patchy health services across the archipelago are disappointing, given that the FSM are a low middle-level income country. Fertility rates are high with Government resource allocation to the health sector weighted more towards curative services rather than preventative and primary health care. The social and health indicators are poor considering that FSM is a low middle-level income country.

Extractions: and the birds wakening you with song. These are the sounds of Kosrae. Have you ever smelled the color green? That is the smell of Kosrae. Written by G. Rose, a Kosrae Village Resort guest, October 1997 Kosrae is located in the Federated States of Micronesia, an island group in the Pacific Ocean that is north of Papua New Guinea. See the Map of Micronesia below. You may have heard about the diving in Palau, diving in Yap with the Mantas, diving in Truk (Chuuk) with the World War II wrecks. Kosrae is also in Micronesia, just east of Truk and south of Pohnpei. We are not as well known, which means not so many visitors! Imagine yourself enjoying our pristine reefs, untouched jungles and our unbelievably clear waterways that stretch through the many enormous mangrove trees. Not enough reasons to come to Kosrae? Here are some more:
Extractions: The Government of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) conducts its own foreign relations. Since independence, the FSM has established diplomatic relations with a number of nations, including most of its Pacific neighbors. Regional cooperation through various multilateral organizations is a key element in its foreign policy. The FSM became a member of the United Nations in The Governments of the FSM and the U.S. signed the final version of the Compact of Free Association on October 1 , 1982. The Compact went into effect on November 3 , 1986, and the FSM became a sovereign nation in free association with the United States. Under the Compact, the U.S. has full authority and responsibility for the defense of the FSM. This security relationship can be changed or terminated by mutual agreement. The Compact provides U.S. grant funds and federal program assistance to the FSM. The basic relationship of free association continues indefinitely, but certain economic and defense provisions of the Compact expire in 2001, subject to renegotiation. Negotiations on extending the Compact began in November 1999. A notable aspect of Micronesian foreign relations is that it is one of the most consistent supporters of Israel (along with the United States ) in international affairs.

PRESIDENT, Mr. Secretary-General, Heads of States and Governments, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen: I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your election. My Government is deeply gratified by the recognition of your accomplishments, especially given that you are a fellow islander. We are confident you will lead the work of this body with the same high competence as your distinguished predecessor, His Excellency Jan Kavan of the Czech Republic. Mr. President, Before going further I must pause in respectful remembrance of the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. We honor the memory of all who were lost. Tragically, the madness continues and we seem to be living in a world that is different than before. I must also express our sincere condolences over the great loss of life recently at the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad.
