Boosting security and defence ties between the UK and New Zealand was a priority in discussions between Dr. Liam Fox, UK Secretary of State for Defence and his New Zealand counterpart, the Honourable Dr. Wayne Mapp. They met in Auckland last week ahead of a wreath laying ceremony at the Auckland War Memorial.
Speaking at a reception at the National Maritime Museum hosted by Murray McCully, New Zealand’s Foreign Minister, Dr Fox said:
“I am very pleased to be in New Zealand with the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, to meet the Defence and Foreign Ministers. These meetings are extremely valuable and provide us with an opportunity to discuss defence and security issues of concern to both our nations. Global challenges, such as Afghanistan and counter-terrorism, require a coordinated response with key allies such as New Zealand, the USA and Australia.”
