John Key discussed the issue of the vital link with Tokelau’s Ulu while he was in Samoa recently.
While the issue has been considered over the past few years, it has not got as far as the signing of contracts.
New Zealand’s current Foreign Minister, Murray McCully, is also expressing frustration over the delay in finding a solution.
“I’m bound to say I’m somewhat frustrated with the amount of time it’s been bouncing around the system. I’m trying to get a look at precisely what stage we’re at and what we are able to do.”
McCully said he was hoping to be able to talk more firmly about the issue in a few weeks.
