EXPLAINER: New Zealand’s navy expects to join a British-led flotilla in a tour of the Indo-Pacific in the coming months, including passing through the contested South China Sea.

Defence Minister Peeni Henare announced earlier this month he had spoken with his counterpart in the UK and the expectation was the country’s navy would be sending forces to join the flotilla. The trip will include port visits with friendly countries and training exercises.
