According to Trevor Mallard, the Pacific parliaments programme, Tai a Kiwa, is a good vehicle for this.
Historically, Wellington has not had a good relationship with Pacific parliaments, said Mr Mallard, and had looked to the UK, the US, Australia and more recently to Asia.
He said it was why he had pushed for Speaker-led parliamentary exchanges in the region, before the Tai a Kiwa programme which was formalised a year ago.
"Firstly, up to Vanuatu and the Solomons," he said.
