Last update: 7 hours agoNational Identity & Branding: Nauru has officially changed its name to the Republic of Naoero, with the international code shifting from NRU to NRO and citizens to be known as dei-Naoero—an effort led by President David Adeang to better reflect local heritage and pronunciation. Diplomacy & Trade Risk: Naoero also moved to withdraw recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and sever diplomatic relations, a decision Georgia says was taken on 21 July and that it welcomes as respect for international law, while Abkhazia claims “unprecedented pressure” and coercion. Digital Finance Push: Nauru’s Trade Commissioner’s office launched the Pacific Digital Assets Forum, aiming to shape responsible digital asset regulation across the Pacific, with a Pacific Digital Assets Report and rotating conference planned for 2027. Air Connectivity: Nauru Airlines appointed Wendy Bowden as CEO, citing her 30+ years in aviation and travel and her prior 12 years as CFO, with a focus on expanding regional connectivity. Deep-Sea Mining Watch: The UN-linked International Seabed Authority extended a deep-sea exploration contract tied to Nauru Ocean Resources Inc., while Pacific civil society and Greenpeace renewed calls for a global moratorium.
