Labour says it will recognise Palestine as a state, place economic sanctions on Israel, and support international law and the United Nations. It will build stronger ties with the EU, Canada, and Pacific nations, make it easier to send money across the Pacific, expand visa access for Pacific Islanders, and gradually increase foreign aid. Parliament would have a say before New Zealand joins any armed conflict.
“Labour will support multilateral institutions, defend peace and international law, and deepen New Zealand's relationships with the EU, Canada, ASEAN and the Pacific.”
“Labour will establish clear parliamentary scrutiny if New Zealand joins armed conflicts”
“Labour will progressively increase overseas development assistance towards 0.7% of GNI as fiscal conditions allow.”
