Independence

After the US announcement in July 1992 that its vessels would no longer carry such weapons, the ninth referendum was successful, and the Republic became independent on October 1, 1994. In December 1994 Palau became a member state of the United Nations. The presidential election of November 2000 was won by Tommy Remengesau, who replaced Palau’s first president after independence, Kuniwo Nakamura. Remengesau was re-elected in November 2004.
