Last update: 7 hours agoRepublic of Naoero Name Change: Nauru has officially become the Republic of Naoero, with “Naoero” as the short form and “dei-Naoero” for its people, after a May constitutional amendment. President David Adeang says a planned referendum was dropped after “thoughtful deliberation,” arguing the name is already part of national identity, used locally, and reflected on the coat of arms. Georgia Recognition Reversal: Naoero also withdrew recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and severed diplomatic relations with both, effective immediately, prompting Georgia’s foreign ministry to welcome the move as a reaffirmation of international law. Deep-Sea Governance: Naoero reiterated its push for fair, transparent seabed rules after the ISA extended Nauru Ocean Resources Inc.’s NORI exploration contract for five years, while Naoero highlighted related legal developments at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Digital Finance Push: Naoero’s trade office launched the Pacific Digital Assets Forum, aiming for regional dialogue and regulation work, with a Pacific Digital Assets Report and conference planned for 2027.
