Cabinet Paper CAB-19-SUB-0356: Report on Overseas Travel: Hon Shane Jones: Fiji, Asian Development Bank Annual Meeting 2 to 4 May#

Proposal

1. I propose that Cabinet note this report on my visit to Fiji from 2 May to 4 May 2019.

Report

2. I attended the 2019 Asian Development Bank (‘ADB’) annual meeting in Denarau Island, Fiji (‘Annual Meeting’). I represented the Minister of Finance at this meeting in his capacity as New Zealand’s Governor of the ADB.

3. The Annual Meeting was the first ADB annual meeting held in the Pacific Islands. This provided an opportunity for New Zealand to promote New Zealand’s priorities for the ADB, including a lift in investment in the Pacific.
