They discussed issues relating to the Compact including those affecting the Micronesian citizens in the United States. Ambassador Peter R. Rosenblatt, who served as U.S. Ambassador and lead negotiator to the Negotiations on the Future Political Status of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (1977-1981), and AJC Executive Director David A. Harris led the AJC delegation which also included officials from its AJC chapters.

President Mori was accompanied at the meeting by Secretary of Foreign Affairs Lorin S. Robert, FSM Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Masao Nakayama and Deputy Permanent Representative Jeem Lippwe.
