The Nauruan government says it will implement processes to ensure credible judiciary appointments following a meeting with New Zealand officials.
New Zealand expressed concern over key judicial sackings in recent weeks, with reports NZ Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully considered suspending aid to the tiny island nation.
Last month, the Nauruan government sacked the country's chief justice Geoffrey Eames and only magistrate Peter Law, both Australian citizens.
The judges both believe their treatment was politically motivated, but Nauru's government denies any political influence.
On Tuesday, Nauru's Minister for Home Affairs Charmaine Scotty and Minister for Justice David Adeang met with Mr McCully in Wellington to discuss New Zealand's concerns.
Nauru agreed to implement new processes to ensure the appointment of credible people, while emphasising its "sovereign right to make appointments to its judiciary as it sees fit".
"We are pleased that the New Zealand government has offered ongoing and increased support to our law and justice sector, and thank New Zealand for their continued assistance and confidence," the delegation said.
