Although phosphate remains the most significant bilateral
link between Australia and Nauru, further economic bonds
were evolving.
An outstanding example of this was the multi-storey Nauru

Australia and Nauru have many interests in common, especially
matters which arose out of membership of such major organisations
as the South Pacific Forum and the South Pacific Commission.
