CPA UK & Niue

Niue has been a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand since October 1974. New Zealand conducts most diplomatic relations on its behalf and Niueans are considered citizens of New Zealand as part of the Realm of New Zealand.

The Niue Assembly is unicameral consisting of 20 elected members serving a three-year term. Representatives from Niue regularly contribute to CPA UK’s multilateral programmes, particularly around pertinent issues such as climate security. CPA UK looks forward to strengthening that relationship based on mutual learning.
