New posts will boost to NZ’s commitment to Pacific, says Peters

This week, Winston Peters announced 14 new diplomatic posts in seven Pacific countries: Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Kiribati.

New Zealand's diplomatic presence in the US state of Hawai'i will also be boosted as a base for the North Pacific.

Mr Peters said the move demonstrates New Zealand's commitment to making the Pacific safer and more prosperous and will enhance New Zealand's voice in the region.
