Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully will visit Tonga for two days this week.
Mr McCully will hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Lord Tu’ivakano, as well as other cabinet ministers.
“This is a timely visit in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Ian.
New Zealand is committed to supporting the Tongan Government as the recovery and reconstruction effort continues,” Mr McCully says.
“This visit is also an opportunity to discuss further development work and engage with the local business community.”
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
