    I wonder why Bangkok Post has relegated New Zealand to a very minor part in their report on the PMs visit ?

    She's in Auckland for 3 days [arrives 21/03 leaves 25/03]... does BP consider PNG to be of greater importance to Thailand than NZ ?

    Oh, just in case BP doesn't know, Thailand + New Zealand have had a free trade agreement {Closer Economic Partnership] since 2005 ... and it's working very well for both countries !
