On 21 May 2024, the Republic of Nauru became the 159th State with which the Principality of Monaco has established diplomatic relations, following the signing of joint communiqués by the Permanent Representatives to the United Nations in New York, H.E. Ms Margo Deiye and H.E. Ms Isabelle Picco.

The Republic of Nauru, the world's smallest republic, is an island nation in Oceania which has been a member of the United Nations since 1999. Close to the equator, it’s one of the countries particularly affected by the impacts of climate change, notably heat waves and rising sea levels.

The Permanent Representatives discussed several shared issues, particularly the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and the equitable distribution of benefits to developing countries under the High Seas Treaty.
