Following the Cook Islands' announcement to enter into a partnership with China, New Zealand has decided to suspend financial aid, including a planned payment of nearly €10 million for development. The New Zealand government, which has allocated some €100 million over the past three years, has called for concrete measures from the Cook Islands to restore confidence. The move reflects concerns about China's growing influence in the resource-rich Pacific.
