<entity_0> have improved significantly since <entity_2>'s elections in September 2014, which restored a democratically elected government to <entity_2> for the first time since 2006. The <entity_1> had opposed <entity_2>'s unelected government, which came to power through a military coup in December 2006. Prior to <entity_2> becoming a British colony in 1874, the <entity_1> had maintained a consular presence there. He went on to rebuke the <entity_1> for interfering in <entity_2>'s domestic affairs. The <entity_1> Peace Corps, temporarily withdrawn from <entity_2> in 1998, resumed its program in <entity_2> in late 2003. <entity_2>'s response to its deteriorating relations with the <entity_1> and other Western countries has been to turn to Asia for new political and economic partners. In December 2007, one year after the coup, <entity_2>'s embassy in Washington stated that it wished to promote "good relations between <entity_2> and the <entity_1>". Following the ruling, <entity_2>’s interim attorney-general, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, called upon Australia, New Zealand, the European Union and the <entity_1> to lift the sanctions they had imposed on the country, stating that they could no longer refuse to recognise the interim government. The <entity_1> government responded that it did not intend to alter its position, and that the "suspension of certain US assistance to the <entity_2> government under section 508 of the foreign operations appropriations act will remain in place, until the President or Secretary of State determines that <entity_2> has made measurable progress toward the restoration of democratic rule". <entity_2>'s embassy to the <entity_1> is accredited to Canada and Mexico. The <entity_1>' embassy to <entity_2> is accredited to Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga and Tuvalu.
