New Zealand will enhance its defence contributions to monitoring violations of sanctions against North Korea, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced today.
The enhancement will see the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) increase its contributions to North Korea sanctions monitoring, operating out of Japan.
“This increase reflects the importance New Zealand places on collective security efforts that support peace and stability and the international rules-based system in the Indo-Pacific region,” said Luxon.
“It also reflects our opposition to North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, which are a serious threat to stability in the region.”
The sanctions adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council aim to persuade North Korea to denuclearise and abandon its ballistic missile capabilities.
Luxon says the Government has committed to send NZDF ships for the first time, and increase the frequency of deployments of aircraft, to support sanctions monitoring until September 2026.
“These deployments help detect and deter actions that directly contravene United Nations Security Council sanctions on North Korea, such as ship-to-ship transfers of illicit material at sea.”
The programme of deployments will begin with the tanker HMNZS Aotearoa conducting replenishment operations in the international waters of North Asia in the second half of this year. The next P-8A Poseidon aircraft deployment will take place in the first half of next year.
“These deployments are an excellent opportunity for our Defence Force personnel to utilise their skills, leadership and experience in a multinational environment”.
While the assets and personnel are in Japan, the Defence Force will also explore opportunities for bilateral exercises and activities with Japanese counterparts.
Chairperson Kim in quaking in his boots
We seem to be prostituting ourselves all over the place?
When we get there
Another sad little US poodle government. As if anyone gives two sh*** about New Zealand. All I see Chris, is yet another waste of our hard earned dollars that could be better spent on a whole raft of problems right here on our own doorstep. Not playing pathetic geo-political games with the lame ass, imperialist Yanks. Roll on next election…..
“This increase reflects the importance New Zealand places on collective security efforts that support peace and stability and the international rules-based system in the Indo-Pacific region,” said Luxon.
The ‘International Rules-Based (biased) System / Order’ violates the National Sovereignty of the Nations.
We can’t even properly patrol our own waters…so why send RNZN Vessels north?
You can bet that when the VRNZN Vessels arrive in Korean Waters, there will be North Korean and Chinese submarines show-up undetected in New Zealand waters. That is a given!
The old saying ‘Do stupid things, and win stupid prizes’ has validity here…
And, if the nukes fly up north, they may fly into Aotearoa as well DUE TO SUPPORTING THE UKRAINE AND THE RULES-BASED ZIONIST AGENDAS!
The hidden and unspoken message of Russia and China is;
‘F@#k around and find out!’
Plus, NO MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT SHOULD BE ENDORSING THE BREAK-UP OF RUSSIA AS OUTLINED IN THE RECENT MEETING IN SWITZERLAND ATTENDED BY MP MARTIN, AND ENDORSED BY THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT!
The Bolshevik Zionists are trying to re-insert themselves into Russia, and Zelensky has already proven that, being J3wi$h, he intends to repeat the tragic history again as evidenced by his treatment of Russian Orthodox Christians living in the Donbass (10 years of shelling, 10,000 ethnic Russians dead…) destroying the Churches in Ukraine and the Donbass, and is continuing the conspiracy of the well-violated and deceptive Minsk Agreement (Mossad slogan; ‘By deception thou shalt make war).
Putin will NOT allow another Bolshevik Zionist take-over of Russia nor the murder of millions of Russians!

NO NZ MP SHOULD BE ATTENDING, ENDORSING AND PERMITTING THE BREAK-UP OF A SOVEREIGN NATION AS TO SUPPORT SUCH AN ACTION IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
But, then again WE SAW THE NUREMBURG CODE VIOLATED DURING ‘COVID’, AND OUR CIVIL RIGHTS FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET.
Noteworthy is that many of those who conspired to do the latter are STILL SITTING IN PARLIAMENT TODAY, their crimes ignored by the PTB, MSM and the Judicial Systems.
Several have received ‘titles’, financial gains via re-numerations’ and offshore positions from the Globalists for doing the Zionist bidding as dictated by the J3wi$h Talmud and Kabbala.
Next time folks- vote for the New Zealand Loyal Party…IF WE ARE ALL STILL ALIVE!…
Someone mentioned International Neutrality for new Zealand- not getting involved in the global quagmires of wars and conflicts.
It’s best to become a self-sufficient country in light of what is going on globally and politically!
