Tokelau

Alapati Pita Tavite was sworn in as the 12th Ulu o Tokelau, beginning his second term as the territory’s head of government during the centennial year of Tokelau’s relationship with New Zealand. The inauguration was held at Talikilagi, Nukunonu’s traditional meeting house, where delegations from Atafu and Fakaofo joined the community to celebrate the historic event.

Tavite’s second term coincides with the centennial of Tokelau’s relationship with New Zealand, which began when the territory was placed under New Zealand administration in 1926 by Britain.
