“The New Zealand electorate has no doubt favoured you, Prime Minister, for your compassionate leadership and, particular, for the success of your “go hard, go early” approach in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, which helped to combat the spread of the virus,” the Secretary-General said in his congratulatory message to Ms. Ardern.
“The Caribbean Community looks forward to strengthening the relationship which it has established with New Zealand, and wishes you success in your efforts to build back better after the pandemic,” Ambassador LaRocque said.
