Jacinda Ardern Instagram – Just landed back in Wellington (we were welcomed back with a traditional landing too 😂) after a quick but really important visit to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship between Aotearoa New Zealand and Samoa. As part of the visit I met with Samoa’s Head of State, Afioga Tuimalealiifano Vaaletoa Sualauvi II, and Prime Minister Fiamē Naomi Mataʻafa where we discussed things like our new climate partnership. But the treaty of friendship isn’t just about the Government of the day, it’s about all our people – so it was fantastic to be joined by party leaders from almost every party in the New Zealand Parliament as we met with the Samoan Cabinet today. We also had the privilege of having iwi leaders, church, business and community representatives with us too. I was asked to describe the visit in one word – I chose “warm and productive” because one word wasn’t enough! Thanks to everyone who made the visit such a success. Back into the debating chamber tomorrow!
