Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has just spoken to media after another busy day at the United Nations general assembly.
Her schedule changed after Russia's war on Ukraine eclipsed other existential threats on the agenda such as the climate crisis.
She skipped the global launch of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent, but managed to meet with the president of Chile and the UN secretary-general.
Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Guyon Espiner.
