Territorial over territory and showing Sovereignty

Recently Governor Calvo  stated :
'I'm glad to see that we are now being engaged by the U.S. federal government who seem to better understand the position Guam is in and are showing that they will work with us to protect every man, woman, and child on this beautiful island that so many people call home.' 


I am always touched by how we unconsciously confirm our strongest beliefs.  Governor Calvo has stated the obvious.  He has raised the bar to the appropriate level.  He has shown us that we can all get along when the correct channels are utilized.  This is great! I applaud Governor Calvo for being an advocate for all Governor's in the U.S. and U.S. administered territories when dealing with Sovereign nations.  Si Yuus Maase!




Meanwhile, in the Nation of FSM:
FSM PIO's press release on the 47th Pacific Island Forum:
"Later in the week during their retreat at the FSM Congress Chambers, leaders (from 16 sovereign nations) focused their discussions on a wide range of regional issues including economic growth, fisheries, maritime surveillance, regional mobility and harmonization of business practices, West Papua, the Regional Assistance Missions to Solomon Islands (RAMSI), Pacer Plus, cervical cancer HPV vaccination, framework for rights of persons with disabilities in the Pacific, the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, climate change and disaster risk management."
And:
The FSM just recently established Diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates and before that, established Diplomatic ties with the Government of Kuwait! Both in a single month! :) Interesting to note that the FSM Government has established Diplomatic ties with over 70 other Sovereign nations.


The Nation of FSM has Diplomatic Missions in Japan, Fiji, China, US (consulates in Guam and Hawaii), and to the United Nations. 


I might be stating the obvious as well in my blog post.  But like I said at the top, we are always unconsciously confirming our strongest beliefs!
