The Governor-General was honoured to officially welcome The Honorable Surangel Whipps Jr., President of the Republic of Palau, to Government House Auckland this morning – the first official visit by a Palauan President to Aotearoa New Zealand.
This very special occasion provided an opportunity to recognise our shared Pacific histories and values, and the visit reflects the warm and meaningful relationship between New Zealand and Palau – both nations committed to the peace, prosperity, and wellbeing of our Blue Pacific region.
Wishing President Whipps and his delegation all the very best for their time in New Zealand.
