Tēnā koutou katoa.
Today, I want to highlight the significance of fostering partnerships in our foreign policy and collaborating to devise solutions – at home, in the Pacific, our wider region and across the globe.
It is a great pleasure for me to host you here today, for the second New Zealand Seafood Sustainability Awards.
Good morning and thank you for inviting me here to talk to you today.
Tena koutou katoa and thank you, Mayor Nadine Taylor, for your welcome to Marlborough.
Thank you for the invitation to be with you here at the Community Housing Aotearoa Conference.
As we all know, Pacific families and communities have been disproportionately impacted by New Zealand’s housing environment for decades.
I want to start by thanking Ngāi Tahu and the Murihiku Regeneration Collective for hosting us here today.
Tena koutou katoa and thank you all for being here and welcoming me to your annual conference.
Kia ora koutou. Thank you for your warm welcome.
