246. Western Pacific
We call upon the United States to move towards diplomatic recognition of Taiwan as an independent nation and renew our commitment to defend our security and vital economic interests in the Western Pacific region in the face of China’s military provocations, which threaten its neighbors and critical maritime trade routes. We call upon the United States to continue an effective containment strategy of North Korea. We hold that Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and South Korea are critical economic and strategic partners with the United States.
