Description | Guam has raised the possibility that the US Pacific territory may consider reuniting with the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas to become the 51st state of America.
But Guam Governor Felix Camacho concedes it would be a long process.
Guam and the Northern Marianas had been administered together when they were ruled by Spain, but were split after the Spanish-American War in 1898.
Governor Camacho's spokesman, Shawn Gumataotao, has told Radio Australia's Pacific Beat program it is a long-term project but ultimately the decision lies with the United States. |
