Nauru supports Dutton’s ongoing immigration role
Nauru's Justice Minister David Adeang has welcomed the
announcement from new Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull
that Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton
would continue in the role.
Mr Adeang said the Nauru Government has a close and cooperative
working relationship with Australian immigration authorities and
that Mr Dutton has always been a good friend of Nauru.
"A new minister always breaks continuity in some way, and Mr
Dutton has spent considerable time getting to know Nauru, our
culture, and many of our people," he said.
"He understands the progress our Government has made, has many
connections here, and is always available when we need to discuss
the ongoing partnership.
"It is welcome news that he will remain as Minister and we look
forward to continuing to work with him and the Turnbull
Government."
