The Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern and the Premier of Niue Dalton Tagelagi, have announced the next steps towards quarantine-free travel between the two countries, such as the health and border requirements.
"We welcome progress towards the recommencement of two-way travel between Niue and New Zealand," said Tagelagi.
Ardern said both countries would now develop, in further detail, the practical measures needed to safely recommence both one and two-way quarantine-free travel.
"Niue has successfully remained COVID-19 free throughout 2020, and this next step is a testament to all of our hard work to protect ourselves and the Pacific," said Prime Minister Ardern
She said it had also been agreed, given Niue's covid-free status throughout 2020, that officials will progress discussions to enable one-way quarantine-free travel from Niue to New Zealand.
Ardern said this would enable improved access for essential travel and support Niue's economic recovery.
