New Zealand has consistently supported the UK and the international community in condemning the Salisbury attack and Russia’s involvement. New Zealand therefore welcomes the results of the Sturgess Inquiry. Anyone who uses chemical weapons must be held to account. gov.uk/government/news/uk-cr….

New Zealand stands in solidarity with the Netherlands and Australia and all the grieving nations and families.
The ICAO Council’s ruling that Russia is responsible for the downing of MH17 is a sad but historic moment in the pursuit of justice and accountability for the victims of this horrific act, and for their families and loved ones. Russia must take responsibility and comply with the ICAO ruling. -WP

New Zealand stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. I’ve just attended the Virtual Summit on Ukraine, hosted by Prime Minister Sir @Keir_Starmer, attended by President @EmmanuelMacron, President @ZelenskyyUa, and many other leaders. Our discussion included how to support Ukraine to achieve a just and lasting peace.

New Zealand led the world in 1893, granting women the right to vote in parliamentary elections. This achievement paved the way for generations of women who have profoundly influenced our history. Here are some of the incredible women representing New Zealand today 📷 #IWD2025

New Zealand remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine as it defends itself in a war that Russia started. It's mounting the defence of a proud, democratic and sovereign nation, but also the defence of international law.

This is a serious concern. Riot control agents must not be used as weapons of war. 🇳🇿 commends the OPCW’s independent and expert advice.
