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.

3 years on from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, NZ continues to support all efforts for sustainable peace. We stood firm during today’s #UNGA voting, upholding the UN Charter, int’l law, incl. key tenets of sovereignty & territorial integrity. 🔗 bit.ly/4gZT00u

A pleasure to welcome National Security Advisor Maarten Boef to the Official Residence for a rich discussion with Five Friends 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇳🇿🇬🇧🇺🇸 on common international security challenges. Looking forward to the #NATO summit in The Hague in June.

The shadow cast by #ChemicalWeapons has claimed countless victims, both civilians and soldiers across the globe. Today we observe the Day of #Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare, and reaffirm our commitment to a world free from these inhumane weapons 🕊️

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