EU Congratulates New President of the Republic of Kiribati

The European Union has congratulated H.E Taneti Maamau on his election as the new President of the Republic of the Kiribati. In his congratulatory message to the President-elect the EU Ambassador to the Pacific, H.E Andrew Jacobs expressed sincere wishes for his success in fulfilling the high responsibilities in his future mandate.

As the new Head of State, Maamau's commitment will be essential to ensure further progress for the Republic of Kiribati in building a prosperous and cohesive society anchored in democracy, inclusion, accountability, transparency and the empowerment of women.

"Under Maamau's leadership the European Union looks forward to continuing and deepening our close partnership with the Republic of the Kiribati, notably in the field of climate change building on our successful cooperation which led to the Paris Agreement in December. Through our development cooperation we are united in seeking to further the nation's socio-economic sustainability." wrote Ambassador Jacobs.
