New Zealand has announced it is increasing its aid to the Pacific by an additional NZ$100 million over the next three years.
The Prime Minister John Key says this will take the total aid commitment to the region over the three years to nearly a billion New Zealand dollars.
He made the announcement at the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders summit in Port Moresby.
He says New Zealand is a Pacific nation and it is committed to working with its closest neighbours to develop their economies and build a prosperous and stable region.
