TARAWA KIRIBATI - 16 April, 2025

Miss Kiribati, Ms. Kimberly Aromata, has returned home after an international trip to China, where she joined three other Kiribati nationals in representing the country at the recent Pacific Leaders Youth Forum.

The event brought together youth leaders from across the region to discuss shared challenges and solutions for a better Pacific future. The participation of Kiribati’s youth delegates marked a proud moment for the island nation, showcasing the voice and strength of its young leaders on a global stage.

Today, Miss Aromata continued her official duties, travelling with the Minister of Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy, the Honorable Tekeeua Tarati, to the southern island of Tamana.

The visit will include community meetings, government outreach activities, and cultural performances, with Miss Kiribati scheduled to perform for the people of Tamana and stay on the island for a week. The trip highlights the government’s commitment to outreach across the islands, as well as the ongoing role of Miss Kiribati in engaging with communities nationwide.

Kimberly Aromata has quickly become a beloved figure across Kiribati, earning admiration from both government officials and the public. Her graceful and proud representation of Kiribati at the recent Pacific Island Pageant in Solomon Islands won the hearts of many.

As she continues to serve not only as a cultural ambassador but also a voice for the youth, her presence on Tamana is expected to bring joy and inspiration to the island community.
