"Tuvalu Elects Feleti Teo as New Prime Minister Amid Taiwan-China Relations Tensions"

Teo, who has extensive experience in regional fisheries and has worked with the Pacific Islands Forum, received unanimous support from the 16 lawmakers. The election result was delayed due to dangerous weather, highlighting the impact of climate change in the Pacific Islands. Taiwan's foreign ministry expressed congratulations to Teo, emphasizing the stable relations between Taiwan and Tuvalu. The new government's stance on diplomatic ties with Taiwan and a recent security and migration pact with Australia remains to be seen.
