Tommy Remengesau, Jr

Today, I joined the many here in Palau 🇵🇼 to pay our respects to the family of Mr. Abe, his friends, and the citizens of Japan by signing a book of condolences at the Japan Embassy in Palau together with Ambassador Karasawa! Rest in Peace to a dear friend.

Shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom I had the privilege to meet on several occasions. A great loss to Japan and the world! My heartfelt condolences to the Japanese people and to Mrs Abe Kie and his family. A great friend of 🇵🇼!

Happy 35th Independence Day to the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)!

...My personal thanks go to Dame Meg Taylor for her leadership and service to our region over the past six years.

Congratulations to Henry Puna on the PIF @ForumSEC leadership outcome, and my solidarity with Micronesia's candidate, Amb. Gerald Zackios. The failure to live up to the promise of leaders' past gentlemen's agreements, however, is disappointing and damaging to our regional unity..
