Diplomatic relations

The signing was done by the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Nauru to the United Nations, Margo Deiye, and the Permanent Representative of Nepal, Amrit Bahadur Rai.

A statement said they were formally establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries, at the Permanent Mission of Nepal, in New York, 4 May.

The two Permanent Representatives also signed a joint letter informing the Secretary General of the United Nations, His Excellency Antonio Guterres, about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Young-kyu Park is the new Ambassador Extraordinary Plenipotentiary of South Korean to Nauru, succeeding Shinhee Cho.

“The Republic of Nauru and the Republic of Korea share a longstanding relation based on common interests,” President Aingimea said.

“I especially wish to take this opportunity to express the government’s appreciation for the COVID-19 assistance rendered by your country to Nauru through UNICEF for medical items.”

In a tweet, President Tsai said she is deeply moved when President Aingimea adjusted his flights after the UN General Assembly in New York to stopover in Taiwai and ‘give weight to his words.’

"#Taiwan & #Nauru are of a family, & the family gets together to show support at a time of need.”

President Aingimea rearranged his itineraries and made a layover in Taiwan on Saturday during his return trip to Nauru to “show his support for Taiwan,” according to a statement issued by the Presidential Office on Friday (Sept. 27).

The Russian diplomat visited Nauru earlier this month.

During the stay, Ambassador Logvinov presented his credentials.

This was followed by conversation with President Waqa that focused on topical issues and prospects of Russian-Nauruan cooperation.

Russia is represented in Nauru through its embassy in Canberra Australia. 

The deals were announced after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in Delhi on Monday.

Mr Modi said he wanted Israeli defence companies to invest in India.

Mr Netanyahu's visit comes a year after Mr Modi became the first Indian prime minister to visit Israel.

He arrived in Delhi on Sunday for a six-day visit along with a 130-member business delegation.

The two countries also signed deals where they agreed to cooperate in areas including cyber-defence, security and science.

The President of Nauru and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia expressed hope that the establishment of diplomatic relations will create an opportunity to develop mutually beneficial cooperation in international platforms.

A statement from the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Armenia said the protocol was signed in New York at the margins of the UN General Assembly last weekend.
