The Foreign Minister says New Zealand is officially resetting its relationship with the Cook Islands.
Tensions have continued to escalate between our Governments as the Cooks inked in a new partnership with China.
In a speech yesterday, Winston Peters has reiterated his concerns New Zealand was in the dark about this agreement, and is yet to see key details.
Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Andrew Dickens it’s clear Peters is well past fed up at this stage.
Walls says it’s no small feat to completely snub New Zealand in a sense, and sign such a major agreement with China without giving us a heads up.
