New Zealand’s navy will join the United Kingdom s flagship aircraft carrier in a tour of the Indo-Pacific, including passing through the contested South China Sea, the defence minister says. The HMS Queen Elizabeth departed Portsmouth, England, on Sunday for its maiden voyage. It will lead a carrier strike group that includes United States and Dutch navies on a tour of 40 countries, reaching India, East Asia, and the Pacific later this year. Defence Minister Peeni Henare said it was his expectation that New Zealand would “most definitely” join the carrier group in its travels through the Pacific and East Asia. New Zealand may join the flotilla in visits to Japan and South Korea.
I had tears in my eyes : Thousands attend Anzac Day services around Aotearoa © RNZ/Vinay Ranchhod
Attendees at Auckland s Anzac Day commemorations say they are thankful to be able to gather again after missing a year due to Covid-19.
About 15,000 people attended the city s main Dawn Service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum under clear skies.
Paul Banks, whose father flew in combat in World War II and whose mother was in the civil defence corps in London, said the service was particularly special. It s been two years since we ve had one of these. By the time The Last Post and the Lament were played, I had tears in my eyes. It was far more moving emotionally for me than I can remember in the past, Banks said.
