Education is a key factor in achieving economic and social outcomes for Pacific communities and improving Pacific peoples' contribution to the New Zealand economy.

We are here today to celebrate the important and vital contribution of Mangere Pacific Islanders Presbyterian Church in creating strong communities – which are an essential part of the future of New Zealand.

Our Labour Government understands the importance of education as the key that can unlock success, opportunity and fulfilment for our people.

The Labour-led government wants to ensure that Pacific women and their families are equipped to play their part in our high income, knowledge-based economy of the future.

Our Labour-led government knows that New Zealand succeeds when our Pacific families are strong and thriving. We have a tremendous amount of respect and appreciation of the contribution that our Pacific peoples have made to New Zealand.

Our Pacific people are the foundation on which our families and communities are built, and we all have a role to in supporting and promoting the health and wellbeing of our Pacific families.

The Labour-led government has adopted health targets to improve the consumption of vegetables and fruit for Pacific adults.

Embracing the possibilities offered by new technologies can only offer more opportunities for Canterbury’s Pacific people to enjoy success and become trailblazing navigators in the digital world.

Music has always played an important role in the lives of all Pacific people. Our songs and dances play a significant role in every Pacific Island community, because within them lie our cultures, languages and history.

The story of Pacific people in New Zealand is a rich and living history.
