The New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, is softening her language over whether she will meet with refugees on Nauru when she visits the island for the Pacific Islands Forum next month.

This comes as pressure is mounting on the Australian Government to accept New Zealand's offer to take 150 refugees from Nauru and Manus Island.
