Niue: Israel's New Friend In The South Pacific (Diplomatic Relations Established)
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2023-08-09

This week, Israel formalized diplomatic relations with the tiny South Pacific Island of Niue becoming one of 9 nations to use its Wellington embassy to New Zealand as a non-resident diplomatic mission to the island. Although Niue has less than 2,000 inhabitants and is one of the most remote islands in the world, it is a popular destination for those interested in ecotourism. It has emerged as one of the first countries in the world to commit to managing all of the waters within its exclusive economic zone 100% exclusively.

Israel's Ambassador to Wellington, Ran Yaakoby, visited the island to mark the occasion.
