Abstract: A small, but growing group of Colorado Jews honored the 28th anniversary of the special relationship between the United States and the Federated States of Micronesia, which has proven to be not only a strong ally of America but also of America’s ally, the State of Israel. Within the United States, one of the largest Micronesian communities resides in Colorado, where 200-300 expats live and work. They originally relocated to the Denver-Boulder area as part of an airline partnership with Continental Airlines, which at the time had a major aviation hub in the Centennial State. In an exclusive interview with Radio Chavura, Asterio Takesy, Micronesia’s ambassador to the United States and Israel, explains why Micronesia and Israel have been close allies and why the two small nations continue to build economic and cultural ties to one another.
