New Zealand is sending a new high commissioner to Fiji.

She is Charlotte Darlow who is currently the divisional manager, Pacific Regional Division at the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

“Fiji and Aotearoa New Zealand are natural partners, sharing a history of strong ties encompassing heritage, culture, sport, business and education,” said Nanaia Mahuta, New Zealand’s Foreign Minister.

Ms Darlow is a career diplomat and is currently New Zealand’s senior official for Pacific regional processes, including the Pacific Islands Forum.

She has also held senior roles focused on climate change, environment, and international security, and has been posted to Geneva to represent New Zealand at the United Nations.

“Delighted that Charlotte Darlow will be the next NZ high commissioner to Fiji,” said current High Commissioner Jonathan Curr in a social media post.

“Such senior and experienced appointment demonstrates the importance of the New Zealand-Fiji relationship.”
