Vision NZ on Foreign Policy

Opposes NZ-India Free Trade Agreement on multiple grounds

Vision New Zealand says it opposes the current New Zealand–India Free Trade Agreement. The party says this deal fails New Zealand's national interest economically, constitutionally, culturally, and morally. They also say the deal betrays Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Beyond this trade agreement, the party's website does not set out detailed foreign policy positions.

What they say they'll do

  • Oppose the New Zealand–India Free Trade Agreement in its current form
  • Argue the trade deal fails New Zealand economically, constitutionally, culturally, and morally
  • Condemn the trade deal as a betrayal of Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Who this affects

New Zealand exporters and businesses
The party's opposition to the NZ–India Free Trade Agreement means they would not support the deal proceeding in its current form, which relates to trade rules affecting businesses that export to or import from India.
Māori communities
The party says the trade deal with India betrays Te Tiriti o Waitangi, raising the agreement as a matter that affects rights and obligations under the Treaty.
