31116 (2023). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister of Climate Change: When he said “I understand the context, that there will be some international players and countries out there that will look upon this and may take a view that is not in their interests," about the Government's decision to restart offshore oil and gas exploration, what conversations, if any, had he had with international players and countries and what did they say?

Hon Simon Watts: A small number of Pacific Island countries have raised offshore oil and gas exploration, including to understand its intersection with New Zealand’s climate commitments and energy transition.
