The Honorary Advisers were joined by New Zealand Foreign Minister, Hon Nanaia Mahuta, who chairs the network. Over the course of the meeting, the Honorary Advisers discussed issues impacting the region, including challenges around inflation, climate concerns, labour markets and the rules-based international order.
