Ambassador of Poland in Australia Michał Kołodziejski at the weekend paid a visit to Brisbane where he met with the Consul of the Republic of Nauru in Australia.

“The aim of the meeting was to discuss cooperation on the international fora, in particular the UN”, said a statement from Embassy of Poland in Canberra on Wednesday.

Brisbane is the only city in Australia (and one of only five places in the world) in which Nauru maintains its diplomatic and consular posts.
