總統亞迪昂宣佈跳過公投，「瑙魯（Nauru）」正式更改英文正式國名爲「瑙埃羅（Naoero）」
瑙埃羅（時稱瑙魯）國會五月通過憲法修正案，更改英文正式國名爲「Nauero」，原定擧行全國公投，而七月二十九日總統亞迪昂表示「經過審慎討論後，決定不再推動公投」，並宣佈更名。據報導，瑙埃羅當局已正式通知各國及國際組織有關國名變更事宜，相關過渡程序亦已展開。
President Adeang announced that, bypassing a referendum, the Country’s English Official Name Would be Formally Changed to Naonero
In May, the Parliament of Naoero (then known as Nauru) passed a constitutional amendment to change the country’s official English name to Naoero. Whilst the original plan had been to hold a national referendum, on the 29 July, President Adeang stated that ‘following careful deliberation, it has been decided not to proceed with the referendum, as “Naoero” is not a new name that requires the people’s approval’, and announced the name change. According to reports, the Nauruan authorities have formally notified various countries and international organisations of the change to the country’s name, and the relevant transitional procedures have already begun.
