Chinese embassy in Nauru holds reopening ceremony

YAREN -- The reopening ceremony of the Chinese embassy in Nauru was held on Monday evening in a hotel in the southeastern part of the Pacific island country.

A plaque of the Chinese embassy was unveiled by Nauru's Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Lionel Aingimea and Luo Zhaohui, head of the China International Development Cooperation Agency, who participated in the event as a representative of the Chinese government.

A Chinese national flag-raising ceremony was held on Monday morning in Nauru by a Chinese diplomatic team, marking the first time in nearly 19 years that the five-star red flag has been raised in the island country.

China and Nauru signed a joint communique in Beijing on Jan 24 on the resumption of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.
