Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Phillip Watts met with Minister of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence Dominic Smith on Thursday to discuss ways the two ministries could collaborate more closely. The meeting, held at the Ministry of Sport’s headquarters, also brought together Permanent Secretary Penelope Bradshaw‑Niles and other senior staff.
Both ministers outlined a shared agenda focused on improving public services, boosting operational efficiency, and advancing initiatives that support young people and sports development. They highlighted the need for joint projects that could streamline processes and create more responsive programmes for citizens.
A key point of discussion was the potential role of technology and AI. The ministers explored how data‑driven tools could enhance decision‑making, improve service delivery, and make ministry operations more agile.
The conversation underscored the government’s commitment to building stronger partnerships across departments. By leveraging innovation, the ministries hope to deliver more meaningful and efficient outcomes for the nation’s youth and the wider public.
