Hon AUPITO WILLIAM SIO (Minister for Pacific Peoples): It is no surprise I've had a number of conversations with Pacific communities in Aotearoa, and the biggest message from them is that climate change is real. It is the single biggest threat facing our Pacific neighbours. It is of significant concern to the Pacific community in Aotearoa, particularly Tuvalu, Tokelau, Marshall Islands, and Kiribati communities. It is also something that is of significance for my international ministerial colleagues, including the Hon Nanaia Mahuta and the Hon James Shaw. As the Minister for Pacific Peoples, I play a strong role in advocacy for the Pacific, and we've had a number of important discussions on climate change in the Pacific. In the last month, I have attended a number of virtual engagement, and take opportunities to amplify climate change in the plight of the Pacific region. These include the Franco-Oceania summit, the Friends of Mekong Foreign Ministers meeting, and the ministerial Pacific regional fisheries meeting. I don't necessarily want to namedrop but the France-Oceania summit was chaired by the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and he asked me to pass on to our Prime Minister his best wishes. The Friends of Mekong Foreign Ministers meeting was chaired by the US, and they expressed, again, to Aotearoa–and the ministerial Pacific regional fisheries meeting was chaired by Fiji. He gave me a beaming smile—
