New Zealand's relationship with its Pacific Island neighbours stretches back centuries, being characterised by movements of people, ideas, commodities, services and finance. It has been a reciprocal and dynamic relationship. Aid from New Zealand to Pacific Island states has been but one of its elements and one that has existed by that name only in the last 50 years or so. Yet it has proved to be one of the most volatile in terms of changing policies and priorities and it is presently under another phase of review.
