Acting President Adeang receives Netherlands ambassador-designate Ruigrok

The Acting President Hon David Adeang received the ambassador-designate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Nauru at the Presidential Office this morning (Monday 1st June) for the presentation of credentials.
 
Upon arriving at the government office Ms Johanna Ruigrok presented copies of her letter of Credence to acting secretary for Foreign Affairs & Trade Dr Maria Gaiyabu before being received by the acting Director of Police Antonius Amwano for the playing of the national anthems and inspection of the police Guard of Honour.
 
Ms Ruigrok was later escorted to the President's Office for the presentation of credentials.
 
In her introductory message Ambassador Ruigrok said she was honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of ambassador of her country to Nauru and looks forward to contribute to the improvement of the already excellent relations of both countries.
 
Ms Ruigrok highlighted that despite the distance and numerous differences between Nauru and the Netherlands, there are common interests such as the two countries closeness to the sea and therefore the negative implications of climate change.
 
The ambassador also highlighted that the Netherlands being one of the largest contributors to the development cooperation budget of the European Union noted that Nauru will receive a contribution from EU development funds.
 
Ms Ruigrok also brought to attention that the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a candidate for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council for the period 2017-2018, and therefore sought Nauru's support for its candidacy.
 
Acting President Adeang accepted the letter of Credence and congratulated Ms Ruigrok on her appointment.
 
Mr Adeang said he is heartened to know that the Kingdom of the Netherlands is also desirous to further promote the common desires of progress, security, lasting peace and economic prosperity for both peoples.
 
"Excellency, the issue of climate change for Nauru is held with great concern. Global warming and the rise in sea levels will result in land, resources and displacement of our people.  Climate change is not only a threat to international peace and security but is a very real threat to our survival and existence," A/President David Adeang said.
 
Following the presentation of credentials Ms Ruigrok continues courtesy visits over the next two days and is expected to pay a courtesy call on President Baron Waqa upon his return to Nauru on Wednesday 3 June before her departure later the same afternoon.
