Nauru President receives German Ambassador-designate Fitschen

President Aingimea offered Nauru’s congratulations and looks forward to engaging in positive dialogue and cooperation in areas of mutual interest and concern.

The histories of both countries are interwoven since Nauru became a German protectorate from 1888 to 1914. German words such as the days of the week are incorporated in the Nauruan vernacular.

“Stretching over many years, this relationship has prospered and strengthened through mutual cooperation and shared values and goals within international foras,” President Aingimea said.
