37411 (2026). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: Further to reply 35408 (2026), how is the reply that there was "one conversation between MFAT and the Chinese Embassy on this matter" to be reconciled with the two telephone calls disclosed in replies 35384 and 35391 (2026), and will he now provide a complete list of all contacts on this matter between the two governments?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: On the issue of comments made by the New Zealand First Leader in the general debate on 29 July 2026, the Member has already been provided, through replies to her many previous WPQs on the issue, all relevant information. The Members is welcome to avail herself of the Official Information Act if she still wishes to make further requests of information of this matter.
