In FY2026, the RMI Outreach Program continued its mission of reaching Marshallese citizens across the United States, particularly those in rural and underserved communities.

Our North Carolina outreach mission provided direct consular assistance, COFA education, support with documentation and public benefit inquiries, and opportunities to strengthen partnerships with local agencies and community leaders.

As we look ahead to FY2027, we remain committed to expanding our reach, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that no Marshallese citizen is left behind, regardless of where they reside in the United States.

The Ambassador and team extend naan in Kamolol to the North Carolina Marshallese community for their partnership and collaboration. We also express our heartfelt appreciation to Anjanette Davis-Anjel and Hilma Lemari for their dedicated service, leadership, and commitment to our people.

Kommol Tata!

Marshall Islands Calls for Global Action on Sea-Level Rise

New York, 24 September 2026 — Minister Kalani R. Kaneko represented the Republic of the Marshall Islands at the UN High-level Plenary Meeting on Sea-Level Rise, joining world leaders to address the escalating threats facing Small Island Developing States and low-lying nations.

Speaking on behalf of the Pacific Islands Forum, Minister Kaneko reaffirmed that sea-level rise is a direct threat to Pacific peoples, economies, and sovereignty. He highlighted the Pacific’s leadership through the 2021 Declaration on Preserving Maritime Zones and the 2023 Declaration on the Continuity of Statehood, which have shaped global understanding of sea-level rise and international law.

The meeting marked a pivotal moment in advancing the UN General Assembly’s resolution on sea-level rise, aimed at mobilizing international cooperation and securing legal and financial protection for vulnerable nations.

“Recognition must now become action,” Minister Kaneko said. “The world must stand with the Pacific to protect our peoples, our rights, and our future.”
