The Cook Islands prime minister says there's plenty on offer in the country's fledgling friendship with Indonesia.

At the weekend in Auckland, Henry Puna signed a communique with Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi which provides a basis for the formal relatIionship between their two countries.

Mr Puna was among representatives of a range of Pacific Islands regional countries attending the Pacific Exposition culture and trade show hosted by Indonesia in New Zealand's largest city.

He spoke to Johnny Blades about linking up with Indonesia.
