Ambassador to the Netherlands presents credentials

 

His Excellency President David Adeang received the Ambassador-designate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the Republic of Nauru, Ms Gerarda Braken, 29 April.

 

On arrival at the government office Ambassador Braken was received by the Acting Secretary for Foreign Affairs Christiana Detenamo before inspecting the Nauru Police Force Guard of Honour and the playing of the national anthems of the Netherlands and Nauru.

Ambassador Braken says she starts her tenure with a deep sense of humility and curiosity regarding the history and culture of Nauru and the Pacific, and while Nauru and her country share a connection with water supply issues, there is also a shared understanding of the challenges of Small Islands Developing States and their challenges and the important role that SIDS creates in the international domain.

 

"Our two countries have enjoyed a successful partnership over the years, collaborating on various fronts, including climate change, seabed harvesting and economic development. Your presence here today promises to continue and deepen these valuable ties," President Adeang said underscoring that the threat of climate change weighs heavily on Nauru.

 

"Global warming and rising sea levels threaten our land and our resources. The challenge of climate change transcends environmental concerns; it is an existential threat to our nation and international peace and security," President Adeang said.

 

His Excellency looks forward to advancing the partnership during the ambassador's tenure.

 

Ms Braken joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in *990 and held positions in New Delhi and Bangkok, as permanent representative  to the UN in Geneva, and in The Hague in the Asia and Oceania division, the UN division, and the Economic Cooperation division.

 

This is Ms Braken's first visit to the Pacific Islands region. She departs later this evening.
