Plans underway to repatriate body of Vanuatu RSE worker who died in New Zealand

The Consul General for Vanuatu in Auckland, McKenzie Kalotiti said the deceased’s employer with the support of MBIE ( Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment), relevant Government agencies in both NZ and Vanuatu will make all the necessary arrangements to organize to repatriate the body back to Vanuatu and provide all necessary support to the family at this very sad time.
