RNZ National Party s deputy leader Shane Reti was asked whether he thought criticism of the Government over its relationship with our Five Eyes partners is justified. OPINION: Law professor Alexander Gillespie described a recent four-power Bay of Bengal naval exercise (India, Japan, Australia, France) as representing ‘’a foreign policy challenge as serious as any other this country currently faces’’. On the face of it that’s an extraordinary statement – the Bay of Bengal is closer to the Mediterranean than it is to the Tasman Sea and only two of the four countries – Australia and Japan – could be regarded as close allies or partners of New Zealand. ....

This included China s crackdowns in Hong Kong and human rights abuses in Xinjiang. New Zealand has added its voice to some statements in the past years, but not all. ....
Apr 23, 2021 A polite disagreement between Pacific Ocean neighbors on Thursday showed a fissure among U.S. allies over China, underscoring the difficulties Joe Biden faces in forging a common front against Beijing. New Zealand distanced itself from Australia, a partner in the Five Eyes along with the U.S., U.K. and Canada, over whether the intelligence-sharing pact should admonish China on its human-rights record. The organization dates back to an alliance forged in World War II. “The Five Eyes arrangement is about a security and intelligence framework,” Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta said at a news conference with her Australian counterpart Marise Payne in Wellington. “It’s not necessary, all the time on every issue, to invoke Five Eyes as your first port of call in terms of creating a coalition of support around particular issues in the human-rights space.” ....
