Israel–Micronesia relations
diplomatic relations between the State of Israel and Federated States of Micronesia
Israel—Micronesia relations are diplomatic and other relations between the State of Israel and the Federated States of Micronesia. Israel was among the first countries to establish formal diplomatic relations with Micronesia.
History
Asterio Takesy, Micronesia's Ambassador to the United States and Israel, said: "Israel was one of the first countries that welcomed us — extended a friendly hand of welcoming us into the world community even before we joined the United Nations and before we became independent."
Micronesia is a close voting ally of Israel at the United Nations and other international organizations, particularly on the resolutions that are critical of Israel. According to the FSM government, the support is owing in part to its Judeo-Christian tradition. Additional reasons for the close bilateral relations include economic interests, with Israel providing aid to the FSM in areas such as agriculture, technical training, and health care training.
In 2000, during a State visit to Israel by Micronesian President Leo A. Falcam, the two countries signed a "Protocol on Cooperation" to "give expression to the warm relations between the two states, and Israel's appreciation of the unreserved support it receives from Micronesia in the UN". In 2010, Micronesian President Emanuel Mori conducted another State visit to Israel. Greeting him, Israeli President Shimon Peres described Micronesia as "one of Israel's greatest friends". Mori explained to his counterpart "the vulnerability of Pacific islands to the impacts of climate change". That same year, Peres thanked (non-resident) Micronesian Ambassador Yosiwo P. George for "his country's enduring friendship and 'outstanding' support": "I don't know the size of your country, but I know the size of your friendship." Ambassador George replied that Micronesia and Israel shared "values and interests".
