  • High Commission of India Suva **** India-Nauru Bilateral Relations

    High Commission of India Suva **** India-Nauru Bilateral Relations

    High Commission of India Suva **** India-Nauru Bilateral Relations Bilateral relations with Nauru have been cordial and friendly. The Indian High Commissioner to Fiji is concurrently accredited to Nauru since 2011, earlier it was covered by High Commission of India, Wellington. Nauru has an Honorary Consul General in New Delhi. Nauru was earlier a major supplier of phosphate to India. Nauru had invested in Paradeep Phosphates Ltd. (incorporated in 1981) a joint venture between Governments of India and Nauru. India has since bought back their shares at the original value. Former President H. E. Kinza Clodumar visited India during April 1998 to attend the First Assembly Meeting of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The visit strengthened bilateral relations. Directly recruited Indian expatriates have held positions in Nauru and their services have been appreciated by Government of Nauru. Mr Sasikumar Paravanoor is presently working as Secretary to Cabinet to Government of Republic of Nauru. India has supplied one 16 seater Mini Van for the use of Nauru Members of Parliament, one 8-seater for the use of the Speaker of the Nauru Parliament and two 30 seater buses for the use of the school children in 2007. Grant-in-aid of US$ 100,000 was released by High Commission of India in Suva in 2008 to the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Secretariat for recruirment of teachers for Nauru. Subsequently the PIF Secretariat transferred the amount to Government of Nauru. Under India’s annual grant of US$ 100,000 since 2006 and US$ 125,000 since 2009, projects in Nauru have included ‘construction of Government Expatriate Employees Apartment’ out of the grant in aid for the years 2007 and 2008.

    Aingimea Commence Term As USP Chancellor

    1 REPUBLIC OF NAURU Government Information Office MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release Thursday, 2 July, 2020 President Aingimea commence chancellorship, wants a strong USP His Excellency President Lionel Aingimea is the third president of Nauru to hold the position of chancellor at the region’s premier institution, the University of the South Pacific. The chancellor is the titular head of the University in which President Aingimea is the 28th head of state or government to hold the title. President Aingimea says the chancellorship means “it brings what Nauru can contribute to USP” and a chance for Nauru to “put our stamp in how we think USP should be governed.” “It is my intention that as chancellor it is not just a figure head, that as chancellor I will get really involved in improving and pushing USP that will make USP proud. That will make people want to go to USP. “The USP needs to have strong staff, strong students and supported by a strong council. “The vision I see is one where staff can work in an environment without fear and without intimidation, where they can deliver what is needed either in business houses or what is needed in industries. “I want us (USP) to be at the level of excellence that is on par with the best universities in the world and I believe we are one of the premier universities in the world,” President Aingimea said, adding however, that the governance of the university needs to improve. “If the governance element of USP doesn’t improve then it gives way to corruption, it gives way to nepotism, and it gives way to an environment where people are too frightened to speak and you’ll have basically low morale and a code of ethics that is thrown out the door.” While the term of chancellor commences 1 July, President Aingimea will be officially installed at the USP’s main campus in Laucala, Suva, Fiji.

    RACE, SELF-DETERMINATION and AUSTRALIAN EMPIRE Race, Self –Determination and Australian Empire ANTONY ANGHIE*

    RACE, SELF-DETERMINATION AND AUSTRALIAN EMPIRE Race, Self –Determination and Australian Empire ANTONY ANGHIE* This article focuses on Australia’s complex relationship with colonialism and empire. This relationship is most often examined through the related frameworks of settler colonialism and Australia’s place within the British Empire. This article sketches and explores a third framework based on what might be termed ‘Australia’s Empire’: Australia’s administration of Nauru and Papua New Guinea pursuant to a mandate of the League of Nations and subsequently, as trusteeship territories under the League of Nations. It seeks in this way to make an argument that these different forms and operations of colonialism must be studied simultaneously as they all influenced each other. Concepts of race and self-determination provide a means of linking together these different imperial experiences.
