Kosovo–Palau relations are foreign relations between Kosovo and Palau.

History

Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008. On 6 March 2009, Palau officially recognized Kosovo as an independent and sovereign state.[1]

On 21 January 2019, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia claimed that Palau had withdrawn its recognition of Kosovo.[2][3] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo denied the Palauan decision to media while Serbian side refused to comment ahead of the official bilateral meeting.[4][5]

On 23 September 2022, the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, met with Palau's Foreign Minister Gustav Aitaro and both sides reconfirmed their bilateral relations and multilateral cooperation.[6][7][8] In October 2022, Palau's Vice-President Uduch Sengebau Senior made an official visit to Kosovo, where she met with President Osmani, and the sides confirmed their willingness to further deepen their bilateral relations.[9] Kosovo's ambassador in Tokyo, Sabri Kiçmari, presented credentials to the president of Palau, Surangel Whipps Jr., in October 2023, confirming formal diplomatic relations between the two countries.[10][11][12]
