Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox government cabinet The Ielemia Ministry was the 11th ministry of the Government of Tuvalu, led by Prime Minister Apisai Ielemia. It succeeded the First Toafa Ministry following the 2006 election, but was voted out of office after the 2010 election and was succeeded by the Second Toafa Ministry, led by Maatia Toafa.[1]

The Ielemia Ministry

In the 2006 Tuvaluan general election held on August 3, prime minister Maatia Toafa's government was defeated and Apisai Ielemia was elected by the new parliament on August 14 to become the new prime minister.[2][3] He also became foreign minister.

Sir Kamuta Latasi was appointed the Speaker of the House of Parliament. Sir Tomu Sione was appointed as the Chairman of the Caucus.

Ielemia continued Tuvalu's pursuit of close relations with Republic of China, and in December 2007 visited that country, when various bilateral issues were addressed. He gained a higher international profile during the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen by highlighting the dangers of rising sea levels. In September 2008 Ielemia and the President of Kiribati, Anote Tong, attended a conference to improve relations with Cuba.[4]

Following the 2010 Tuvaluan general election held on 16 September Maatia Toafa was elected as prime minister with the support of five new members of parliament and three members that had supported Prime Minister Apisai Ielemia, this resulted in (8:7) majority in the parliament.[5]
