First, I want to acknowledge the 10 soldiers we lost during this particular operation, and say to you that yesterday, the Prime Minister, the Foreign Affairs Minister, and I announced that New Zealand would conclude our deployment of New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) personnel to Afghanistan. The Defence Force's deployment to Afghanistan has been one of our longest in history. Ten New Zealanders tragically lost their lives in Afghanistan, and more than 3,500 NZDF and other agency personnel contributed. We will always remember their commitment to replace conflict with peace, and the current deployment of six NZDF personnel will return to New Zealand by May of this year.
