The Alliance says New Zealand should not take sides with major world powers and should focus its military on protecting our own region rather than joining wars overseas. The party wants NZ to stand up for democracy and justice around the world, and to build stronger connections with Pacific Island neighbours.
“Our country should be non-aligned, the defence force re-focused on defence of our region rather than foreign adventurism, and we should deepen our ties with our Pacific neighbours.”
“The global political order is being reshaped by authoritarians – in the west and east – Aotearoa New Zealand must stand for democracy, peace, and justice for all.”
