Congress makes the following findings: The United States and the international community have long-term interests in the stability, security, and prosperity of the people of the Middle East and North Africa. In addition to and apart from military and security efforts, the United States should harness a whole of government approach, including bilateral and multilateral statecraft, economic lines of effort, and public diplomacy to compete with and counter PRC influence. A clearly articulated positive narrative of United States engagement, transparent governance structures, and active civil society engagement help counter predatory foreign investment and influence efforts.
It is the policy of the United States that the United States and the international community should continue diplomatic and economic efforts throughout the Middle East and North Africa that support reform efforts to— promote greater economic opportunity; foster private sector development; strengthen civil society; promote transparent and democratic governance and the rule of law; and promote greater regional integration and intraregional cooperation, including with Israel.
