Tonga's Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni Hu'akavameiliku says he has raised concerns with New Zealand's Prime Minister Chris Hipkins about recent reports of a dawn raid conducted on a Tongan over stayer in Auckland.
Hu'akavameiliku met with Hipkins in England where he was attending King Charles III's coronation.
He said Hipkins had reassured him that dawn raids on overstayers would not be repeated in the future.
It was the Tongan leader's first first face-to-face meeting with Hipkins, who became New Zealand's 41st Prime Minister in January.
