Australia accepted on Thursday a long-standing New Zealand offer to take hundreds of refugees detained for years in remote camps under Canberra’s “Pacific solution” immigration policy.

SYDNEY, Australia —

In a joint statement with Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews, Faafoi said the agreement reflected New Zealand’s “long and proud history of refugee resettlement”. At the time, it rejected Wellington’s offer over fears the refugees would eventually wind up in Australia because New Zealanders share mutual rights to residency with their neighbour.
