  • What guidance, if any, applies to whether the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade comments publicly on statements made by him in a capacity other than as Minister of Foreign Affairs?

Answer

No such guidance exists because MFAT has no responsibility for comments made by me in a capacity other than Minister of Foreign Affairs.
