The Cook Islands has 2 diplomatic Missions, a High Commission in New Zealand and an Embassy accredited to the European Union in Brussels. The Cook Islands Ambassador to the EU is HE Mr Todd McClay.

In 2000 the Cook Islands government signed the Cotonou Partnership Agreement between the European Union and Countries of the African, Caribbean and Pacific regions.

Upon signature of this agreement the Cook Islands Government established a representation to the EU in Brussels. In 2002 this representation was upgraded to a full diplomatic mission with accreditation to the European Union. The establishment of this mission marked an important development in Cook Islands international relations representing the first full diplomatic mission established by the Cook Islands outside of Pacific countries.

The Cook Islands Mission to the European Communities interacts with European Union Institutions, the ACP Group of States and other bilateral country representations and embassies.
