New Zealand's ambassador for Pacific development, Shane Jones, has invited French Polynesia to make use of maritime training expertise available in New Zealand.
He has been leading a delegation to the French territory this week.
Views were exchanged on industrial fisheries and fish farming, with a focus on the cultivation of grouper and mackerel.
Mr Jones spoke of his desire for a partnership in the fisheries sector and in maritime training in which he says New Zealand has long-standing know-how.
