The ACT Party believes that our foreign policy should seek to uphold the safety of our citizens, and reflect our interests and our values on the world stage. It's important that we're part of a rules-based order, because we are a small island in the Pacific and a small trading nation; we do need a rules-based order. It's important that we're part of agreements where we can help shape those rules. That's the importance of us being part of RCEP. It's important for our peace and security as a country, but it's also important for our peace and security as a region of the Asia-Pacific. That is important for the stability of the businesses, the everyday New Zealanders who get up and create jobs and opportunities for other New Zealanders right here, and that they have stability and have growth in more export markets going forward.
