Message from Ambassador Tajima
I am Hiroshi TAJIMA, and I have assumed as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to the Republic of Fiji in December 2025 with concurrent accreditation to the Republic of Nauru. Although this is my first time to visit Nauru, I am deeply honoured to serve as Ambassador to the country surrounded by beautiful blue seas and blessed with warm-hearted people. I look forward to engagement with you all.
At EXPO2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, I was impressed by the great interest shown in Nauru’s exhibits, including traditional ceremonial tools and various local products. It was also remarkable to see the cute green character named “Nauru-kun” promoting Nauru far more effectively than people do.
The year 2025 marks the 57th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Fiji in 1968. During this period, cooperation between our two countries has progressed across a wide range of fields, including infrastructure, education, health and medical services, disaster risk reduction and sports exchanges. In July 2024, H.E. Mr. David Adeang, President of the Republic of Nauru, visited Japan for his attendance to the 10th Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting (PALM10), and a Japan-Nauru Summit Meeting was held. During the meeting, it was confirmed that Japan would provide a patrol vessel to improve Nauru’s capacity of ensuring maritime security, including efforts to control illegal fishing, conduct search and rescue operations and address drug trafficking. Both countries also affirmed their commitment to further developing their strong cooperative relationship.
In addition to my role as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, I also serve as Permanent Representative of Japan to the Pacific Islands Forum. Japan strongly supports the "2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent," which outlines the PIF's priority areas and its desired future by 2050, and Japan is steadily implementing the commitments made at the 10th Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting (PALM10) held in 2024. Japan will continue to collaborate with Nauru and other Pacific Island Countries towards PALM11, which is scheduled to take place in 2027.
Ensuring the safety and security of Japanese visitors is the embassy's utmost priority. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of visitors and tourists has been gradually increasing. To ensure that you can enjoy your stay, business trips, and travels in Nauru with peace of mind, please do not hesitate to contact the Embassy of Japan if you have any questions or encounter any difficulties.
