European Commissioner for Development, Andris Piebalgs, and New Zealand Foreign Minister, Murray McCully, undertook a joint mission to the Pacific on 23-27 April 2014 to further strengthen development cooperation in that region.

The visit focused above all on renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, several of them co-financed by New Zealand and the EU in Samoa, Tuvalu, Kiribati (including Christmas Island) and the Cook Islands. Commissioner Piebalgs will also travel to Papua New Guinea from 28 – 30 April 2014 to discuss development challenges with members of the government and will launch two projects worth almost €60 million.
