American leadership in space remains essential.

Beyond its role in economic growth, scientific advancement, and national security, leadership is critical to ensuring responsible stewardship of the outer space environment. Space must remain open, safe, and sustainable for the benefit of all.

The United States cannot meet this moment alone. Alliances grounded in shared values and partnerships built on trust, optimism, and a commitment to the peaceful use of outer space are vital to humanity’s long-term progress beyond Earth.

Twenty-first-century space policy demands engagement across borders and sectors, including civil space agencies, policymakers, diplomats, scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and national security experts. As space activity accelerates, unlocking unprecedented opportunities for innovation, cooperation, and competition, the need for sustained, multilateral diplomatic engagement has never been greater.
