| Winston Peters and Pacific leaders pn158 |
The NZ Government is putting $70 million towards non-government organization (NGO) work in the Pacific, which Foreign Minister Winston Peters says will strengthen New Zealand's voice on global trade and security issues.
The money is part of the $714 million over four years, announced in Budget 2018, for Pacific Reset, the Government's strategy to grow New Zealand's influence in an increasingly contested strategic area (The self-interest component in the Reset is acknowledged.)
