On Friday, December 5th, Mr. David Aingime, CEO of Eigigu Holdings Corporation, Nauru’s state-owned enterprises, visited PIC. This visit follows an exchange initiated during the PIC Director’s visit to Nauru in mid-November, where he met with Mr. Aingime (see attached photo taken that day).

Mr. Aingime provided updates on Eigigu Holdings’ various projects, including the expansion of its hotel operations and the introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles (HIVs) as part of its decarbonization efforts. Discussions also covered deep-sea mineral resource development related to the Nauru Seabed Minerals Authority, where Mr. Aingime serves as Chairman.

Both parties agreed to maintain and expand their friendly relations to further enhance business opportunities between Japan and Nauru.
