Diplomatic missions of Nauru
- Diplomatic missions of Nauru
Nauru is one of the smallest countries of the world. It was previously quite wealthy, thanks to royalties collected from phosphate mining. This allowed the country of 12,000 to expand its public service workforce to 1,600, develop an impressive but unsustainable international property portfolio, and allow the country to sit on seventeen multilateral fora.
Economic mismanagement has forced the Nauruan government to cut back on its overseas presence. With mounting debts in it was forced to relinquish Nauru House in Melbourne, a 52 story building owned by the Nauru government which housed its consulate-general. In a bid to stay solvent a covertly funded Nauran embassy was planned to be opened in Beijing as a transit point for defecting North Korean scientists (Operation Weasel).
