The report of the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee on New Zealand's relationship with South Pacific countries

In March 2006, during the 48th New Zealand Parliament, the Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade Committee began an inquiry into New Zealand's relations with South Pacific countries. The Committee's key term of reference was "to investigate the role New Zealand plays and can play in assisting Pacific Islands Forum nations (excluding Australia) to develop sustainable economies."1 An interim report on the inquiry was presented to the House of Representatives in September 2008 and the Inquiry was reinstated in the 49th Parliament. The final report was released in December 2010.
