39218 (2026). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: Did New Zealand issue any public statement, media release or social media post announcing or explaining its abstention on the 31 August 2026 United Nations General Assembly vote on draft resolution A/80/L.107, and if so, on what date?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: Votes at the United Nations are public and therefore do not need to be “announced”.
