H.R. 4213 would extend through 2025 several initiatives for young leaders in the Indo-Pacific region and would authorize appropriations of $25 million in 2024 and 2025 for that purpose. The bill also would codify the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI), allow the department to accept and spend gifts and contributions for YSEALI, and require the Department of State to report to the Congress on its implementation of that initiative. YSEALI was established in 2013 to support young leaders in Southeast Asia in the areas of civic engagement, environmental issues, business, and governance.
