STATEMENT TO THE FIFTEENTH SESSION OF THE CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES TO THE UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
16 December 2009, Copenhagen

Madame President, thank you for this opportunity to address this very important conference.

Your Excellencies, distinguished delegates – I extend to you greetings in my language: Kia Orana.

Literally, these words of greeting mean: “may you live on”.  Kia orana expresses the hope that not only one as an individual lives on but that one’s lineage also lives on into the future.  So once again, let me greet the world by saying : “Kia Orana, may we ALL live on”.
