PM of Tonga Welcome Ceremony
The New Zealand Defence Force supported the official welcome ceremony for the Prime Minister of Tonga on a sunny May morning at Parliament grounds. Members of the local maori cultural group performed a wero before His Excellency Dr Fred Sevele was welcomed by Prime Minister John Key. The Central Band of the RNZAF played the national anthems of both countries before he inspected the 50 man Army Guard of Honour.
