Foreign relations of Palau
- Foreign relations of Palau
Palau gained its independence October 1, 1994, with the entry into force of the Compact of Free Association with the United States. Palau was the last Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands territories to gain its independence. Under the Compact, the U.S. remains responsible for Palau's defense for 50 years.
Palau is a sovereign nation and conducts its own foreign relations. Since independence, Palau has established diplomatic relations with a number of nations, including many of its Pacific neighbors. Palau was admitted to the United Nations on December 15, 1994, and has since joined several other international organizations. In 2004, Stuart Beck was appointed to serve as Palau's first permanent representative to the United Nations. Along with the other former Trust Territories, Palau is one of a handful of countries that regularly votes with Israel in the United Nations General Assembly. Palau established relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan, instead of the People's Republic of China, in 1999.
The Republic of China, Japan, Philippines, and the United States of America have embassies in Palau.
Palau maintains embassies in the Philippines, Republic of China (Taiwan), Japan, and the USA.
Palau established formal consular links with Israel, it was reported in early 2008.
