NEW Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has sided with Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) as negotiations continue between Pacific Islands Forum Leaders on the final communique.

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama made the revelation in a Tweet on his official Twitter account saying that when combatting climate change, it was good to have an ally like New Zealand “in your corner”.

“Together, we can save Tuvalu, the Pacific and the world,” Mr Bainimarama tweeted.

He also thanked his NZ counterpart for the passion “you bring into this fight”.

Meanwhile, leaders have been in discussions for the whole day and it is understood nothing has been finalised.
