Episode Details

New Zealand’s hosting of the Pacific Islands Forum next year has sparked global intrigue over Taiwan’s participation—Prime Minister Christopher Luxon dodges specifics, pledging to follow “long-established norms” since 1992 while brushing off media pressure. Taiwan’s Foreign Minister is reportedly interested, but Luxon hints at ministerial-level engagement only closer to the event. Amid rising tensions with China—whose displeasure flared when Taiwan attended last year’s forum in Palau—Luxon insists the issue isn’t dominating the forum’s agenda and that New Zealand’s diplomatic dance remains smooth under existing protocols.
