Niue and Cook Islands still have eye on seat at UN

From , 4:04 pm on 29 March 2017

The Cook Islands has not given up on getting an independent seat at the United Nations but says it is not a priority at the moment.

Niue is also not giving up on the quest with premier Sir Toke Talagi saying it remained unfinished business.

But it was links rather than separation that was to the fore when New Zealand's Governor-General visited the two countries last week.
