The mayor of Manukau, in Auckland, Len Brown will lead a trade delegation to the Pacific in August to foster greater trade relationships with Pacific neighbours.
Mr Brown says he has had many discussions with the New Zealand Pacific Business Council and local businesses who support developing greater business and trade opportunities in the Pacific region.
He says he believes that Manukau needs to lead the way, even in these
challenging times.
The trade delegation will travel to Tonga, Samoa and American Samoa and
include representatives from the New Zealand Pacific Business Council,
local Manukau businesses and councillors.
