Salwai and his delegation saw employees in their working environment in the early morning visit this week.
The workers are employed under the Recognised Seasonal Workers (RSE) scheme.
Many of the workers were excited to meet PM Salwai for the first time.
Accompanied by Vanuatu’s Minister of Internal Affairs Andrew Napuat, the visit to New Zealand also included meetings with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and Immigration Minister, Iain Lees-Galloway.
