NZ PM John Key says PIF largely successful
Speaking after the launching the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise Office at the New Zealand High Commission inWaigani on Friday, Key said:
“It’s been tremendously successful.
“You’ve had leaders from around the region coming together to talk about so very big issues.
“It was going to be a very full programme because five issues had been identified before we came and I think we had a good chance to talk about those.
“Climate change was going to be a pretty-important issue because we’ve got some low-lying states here so it was fairly dominant in terms of the conversation.
“We go to Paris now for some full discussions in the later part of the year.
“From a fisheries perspective, that’s a massive resource for the region and I think we are making progress towards sustainable fisheries.
“We’ve been pleased to make a few announcements here including overall aid to the region of a billion (New Zealand) dollars over the next three years, an increase from where we’ve been.”
