“It might be of interest, Mr. Speaker, that it was since 1844 that when the Mormon Church was founded that missionaries were first sent to the South Pacific in the South Seas. So the Polynesian people have had a very long and standing relationship with the Mormon Church since 1844, and because of this, even though His Majesty is not a member of the Mormon faith, but certainly most respectful throughout the region for his energy and certainly for his outstanding leadership as one of the great leaders in the Pacific region. And for this, Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues for this opportunity and want to wish His Majesty a very most welcomed visit here in our country.”
