Peters to meet Rubio in US this week

Peters - Rubio meeting in Washington

Foreign Minister Winston Peters will travel to Washington D.C. this week.

“The current global context is the most challenging New Zealand has faced in the past 80 years,” Mr Peters says.

“In times as complex as these, we highly value opportunities to meet face to face.”

While in Washington, Peters will meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio among others.

“We intend to discuss our shared commitments to cooperate in the Pacific and Indo-Pacific, as well as significant international developments – particularly the conflict in the Middle East and its impacts on our region.”

“These meetings will advance New Zealand’s diplomatic, security and economic interests and facilitate greater mutual understanding of our respective priorities.”

Peters leaves New Zealand later today (6 April) and returns on Friday (10 April).

    • Honestly?

      It is bad enough he is going over to meet up with war criminals (that he hasn’t rebuked or condemned).

      If we had a decent minister of foreign affairs, the US would have been shown the door already.

  1. Go Go Winston.
    In a normal world why would you need to meet a violent, Zionist regime.?
    Oh, I forget New Zealand was always in the genocidal Zionist camp.
    You are just acting by default like always. Let’s support our Zionist genocidal maniacs.
    You might as well involve New Zealand in that unjust war . Why not. Let’s be consistent.

    The Empire is in its final death struggle.

    I guess this ‘government’ will just applaud when these maniacs in their despair start firing nukes against Iran.

  2. This government sullying our reputation yet again by meeting with the warmongering US establishment. I don’t care what comes next, they need to go this election. Associating ourselves with this political and moral “swamp” isn’t acceptable.

  3. “These meetings will advance New Zealand’s diplomatic, security and economic interests and facilitate greater mutual understanding of our respective priorities.”

  4. “These meetings will advance New Zealand’s diplomatic, security and economic interests and facilitate greater mutual understanding of our respective priorities.”

    And just when you thought it was impossible to actually increase the torrents of gaslighting horsesh*t and sneaky weasel-words gushing from their phony contorted mouths

  5. How is this meeting going to help our security? The US has shown it can’t/won’t protect their allies in the Gulf.

    The US doesn’t make NZ safer. And if we try to leave their sphere of influence, I would say the threat would come from them.

    Where are your condemnations for the war crimes the US is committing Winston? Where?

    Nothing to say about the purposeful targeting of a girls school, with a double tap strike in the first minutes of the attack war-crime?

    Nothing about the targetting of hospitals, medical manufacturing factories, universities and nuclear power stations war crimes.

    Nothing about the war of aggression started by Israel and USA?

    You go on and on Winston, about Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine.

    You sir, are a good deceiver. I wonder if all those voters that supported Winston and NZ First last election are happy with Winston hitching NZ’s wagon to the war crimes train.

  6. Get ready for New Zealand to implement US policies after Winnie returns with his instructions. The “talks” will be one way and one-sided – it won’t be Winnie telling Rubio anything.

  7. Zion Satanist meeting with Zion Satanist. Why? Winnie the Poo, taking orders still, from the Trilateralist, remind him not to go into any hotel room by himself…. Hope it ain:t about taking in 300,000x Isis Ra El refugees, probably…. Jesus is King, not Trump and not TEAM Zion Satnist.and Frak the NWO..

  8. Winnie just getting his instructions from the global bullies.
    He won’t even get an audience with the banksters.
