The Pacific island nation Nauru has restored diplomatic ties with China earlier this year and has already signed up for the Belt and Road Initiative. How can the two countries chart a course for further growth of their bilateral ties going forward? In this edition of Leaders Talk, CMG's Zou Yun catches up with David Adeang, president of Nauru, during his recent state visit to China, to discuss how China can help the island nation expand cooperation in economy and trade, climate change, as well as in green infrastructure, among other sectors. Adeang says Nauru overwhelmingly supports the one-China principle and insists that China's rise has not been achieved at the expense of other nations. He wants Nauru to take part in Chinese President Xi Jinping's global initiatives, and reckons that Xi's worldviews are "refreshing." Adeang is also ready to offer Nauru's loyalty and friendship and looks forward to applying lessons from the Chinese path to modernization to Nauru's development.
