Helen Clark and Judith Collins catch up in London.
Former political adversaries Judith Collins and Helen Clark have come together in London for a "great catch-up" over lunch and a worthy cause - the Angelina Jolie-led international bid to stamp out rape in military conflicts.
Justice Minister Ms Collins spoke at the final day of the Global Summit to
End Sexual Violence in Conflict in London this week, an initiative spearheaded by the British Government and film star Jolie, who is Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Helen Clark, a former Labour prime minister now administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, was also present.
"She came over and we had lunch together and it was great to catch up", Ms Collins said last night.
"She was obviously very supportive of what we're doing around the [New Zealand bid for a place on the] Security Council and really supportive of the interest in the work we're doing around the conference itself in terms of trying to rid the world of sexual violence in conflicts."
