Taipei, Jan. 5 (CNA) Two ministers from the Republic of Nauru, a South Pacific country, will arrive in Taiwan Sunday for a five-day visit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a news release Friday.
David Adeang, who has been serving as both Nauru's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Finance since July 2004, and Frederick Pitcher, the minister of island development and industry, are scheduled to meet President Chen Shui-bian, Minister of Foreign Affairs Tan Sun Chen, Minister of the Council of Labor Affairs Lee Ying-yuan and other ranking officials during the stay.
Taiwan and Nauru resumed diplomatic ties last May after a three-year hiatus. Nauru, which established diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 1980, switched recognition in 2002 to China under former president Rene Harris.
Nauru is located in the South Pacific near the equator. It has a land area of 21.3 square kilometers and a population of 12,800.
