The Cook Islands foreign minister, Wilkie Rasmussen, says the successful applicant for the foreign secretary position will need wide knowledge on immigration. There are five applicants for the position to which an appointment will be made tomorrow.

They are a former New Zealand High Commissioner to the Cook Islands, Kurt Meyer, Rohan Ellis, Mike Mitchell, Carl Hunter and a woman, Vaine Wichman.

Mr Rasmussen says while the applicant needs to have in-depth knowledge about the Cook Islands’ position regionally and globally there is another huge responsibility.
