AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoNational Identity Reform: Nauru has officially become the Republic of Naoero, with President David Adeang saying the change restores indigenous heritage and language. Parliament passed a constitutional amendment in May, and a planned referendum was dropped because “Naoero is not a new name seeking acceptance.” The international country code is set to move from NRU to NRO, citizens will be called dei-Naoero, and ships/aircraft will be renamed. Citizenship-for-Climate Funding: Naoero is also pushing a “golden passport” citizenship-by-investment scheme, offering citizenship for a $90,000 contribution to a National Transformation Fund, aimed at financing climate relocation and adaptation. Deep-Sea Mining Pushback: In the wider region, Pacific leaders are alarmed by moves toward deep-sea mining, including a US-backed auction plan near American Samoa, with officials citing lack of consultation and risks to food security. Diplomatic Realignment: Naoero’s government says it has terminated recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, while Georgia’s leadership says it is ready to establish diplomatic relations with Naoero.
