We also need to consider the context of our values-based approach to foreign policy and to work collectively in the pursuit of our core interests, which include an international rules-based order which gives all countries a voice and provides frameworks that promote stability; keeping New Zealanders safe by promoting regional stability; international conditions and connections that aid our prosperity, including supply chain resilience; and global action on sustainability issues such as climate change. Aotearoa's record on the world stage shows we are most effective when we take this approach internationally. We exhaust our diplomatic tool kit to influence and lead change. We build and strengthen our relationships that are with an independent foreign policy perspective that promotes strong relationships and acknowledges the mana of all countries. This is what we must bear in mind when considering this particular bill.
