The Roundtable was hosted by the Courts of New Zealand and focused on four topics pertinent to both judiciaries, namely: Access to Justice, Climate Change, Technology and the Courts, and Lifecycle and Wellbeing of the Judge.

Chief Justice Menon said: "I express our deepest gratitude to Chief Justice Winkelmann and her team for hosting this inaugural Roundtable between our two judiciaries. Today, our courts operate within a global environment that is increasingly dynamic and interconnected, and we are likely to be confronted with ever more complex and challenging legal issues that will often transcend jurisdictional boundaries. As we navigate these challenges, platforms like this Roundtable offer an immensely valuable opportunity for us to learn from one another's experiences and perspectives. We had a very fruitful discussion at the Roundtable, and I look forward to many more discussions like these in the future."

Chief Justice Menon also spoke at the Pacific Judicial Conference 2025, which took place in Auckland from 9 to 12 February 2025. The theme for the Conference was "Strengthening the Institution of the Judiciary – Kia Tū Pakari ai te Whare Whakawā". Chief Justice Menon and Justice David Goddard of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand participated in a moderated conversation on "The Future Shape of Courts".
