She adds that the Pacific Missions provide an invaluable opportunity for New Zealand to showcase the breadth and depth of its engagement with regional partners.

“Basically, we are reconnecting and discussing things that are of shared significance, with a focus on our region. We are also strengthening the partnership that has existed between New Zealand and Fiji.”

The NZ Deputy Prime Minister says the missions in the Pacific, including Fiji, provide an opportunity for all to reflect on the close ties and the mutual benefit of the political, security, economic, and people-to-people links.
