=== Foreign policy ===
==== Africa ====
Pelosi sponsored the Hunger to Harvest bill, which urges the President to:
* set forth five-year and ten-year strategies to achieve a reversal of current levels of hunger and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, including a commitment to contribute an appropriate U.S. share of increased bilateral and multilateral poverty-focused resources for sub-Saharan Africa, with an emphasis on health (including HIV-AIDS prevention and treatment), education, agriculture, private sector and free market development, democratic institutions and the rule of law, micro-finance development, and debt relief; and

* Congress to undertake a multi-year commitment to provide the resources to implement those strategies; and

Pelosi voted in favor of keeping the travel restrictions on American citizens to Cuba, until the president has certified that Cuba has released all ], and extradited all individuals sought by the US on charges of air piracy, ] and murder.<ref></ref>
==== Israel and the Middle East conflict ====
Pelosi reaffirms that "America and ] share an unbreakable bond: in peace and war; and in prosperity and in hardship." Pelosi emphasized that "a strong relationship between the United States and Israel has long been supported by both Democrats and Republicans. America's commitment to the safety and security of the State of Israel is unwavering, regardless of which party is in power. However, the ] has made both America and Israel less safe." Pelosi's voting record shows she has consistently supported Israel. Prior to 2006 elections in the Palestinian Authority, she voted in favor of a Congress initiative to disapprove of ] and other organizations', defined as terrorist by the legislation, participation in the elections. She agrees with the current U.S. stance in support of a land-for-peace arrangement. She has applauded Israeli "hopeful signs" of offering land, while criticizing Palestinian "threats" of not demonstrating peace in turn. She states, "If the Palestinians agree to coordinate with Israel on the evacuation, establish the rule of law, and demonstrate a capacity to govern, the world may be convinced that finally there is a real partner for peace."

Pelosi supports the ] and ]. In a speech given at the ] 2005 annual conference, Pelosi said that "for too long, leaders from both parties haven't done enough" to put pressure on ] and ] who are providing ] with technological information on nuclear issues and missiles.

During the ], Pelosi voted in favor of Resolution 921 on the count that "the seizure of Israeli soldiers by ] terrorists was an unprovoked attack and Israel has the right, and indeed the obligation, to respond." She argues organizations and political bodies in the Mideast like ] and ] "have a greater interest in maintaining a state of hostility with Israel than in improving the lives of the people they claim to represent." Pelosi asserts that civilians on both sides of the border "have been put at risk by the aggression of Hamas and Hezbollah" in part for their use of "civilians as shields by concealing weapons in civilian areas."<ref></ref>

==== North Korea ====
Pelosi strongly condemns North Korea's missile launches. "North Korea is moving outside the circle of acceptable behavior and is threatening the region, the United States, and the world," she says. "We must use every possible tool to stop North Korea’s unacceptable, provocative actions including six party, multilateral, and bilateral diplomatic negotiations."<ref></ref>

=== Military draft ===
In regards to Representative ] plan to introduce legislation that would reinstate the draft, Pelosi stated that she did not support such legislation.<ref>, ''CNN Politics'', November 21, 2006</ref>

==Speaker of the House==
Nancy Pelosi defeated Rep. ] with 233 votes compared to his 202 votes in the election for Speaker of the House. In her speech to Congress she stated, "I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship, and look forward to working with you on behalf of the American people. In this House, we may belong to different parties, but we serve one country."

During her speech, she also celebrated the historical importance of being the first female to hold the Speaker's position. "This is a historic moment - for the Congress, and for the women of this country, said Pelosi. "It is a moment for which we (women) have waited more than 200 years. Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting; women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and granddaughters, today, we have broken the marble ceiling."

Pelosi, in her speech, spoke on Iraq as the major issue facing the 110th Congress while incorporating some Democratic Party beliefs. "The election of 2006 was a call to change - not merely to change the control of Congress, but for a new direction for our country. Nowhere were the American people more clear about the need for a new direction than in Iraq. The American people rejected an open-ended obligation to a war without end."

===The "Hundred Hours"===
{{main|100-Hour Plan}}
Prior to her election as Speaker, Pelosi announced a plan for action: She and the newly-empowered Democratic caucus would push through most of its program during the first hundred hours of the 110th Congress' term. This refers to business hours and not actual time, and begins on the Tuesday (January 9, 2007) after the swearing-in ceremony on January 4th.
