Summary of address by Rear admiral Proctor, Chief of the Royal New Zealand Navy: “It is an exciting time for any Navy when you contemplate the acquisition of new ships. As a Navy, we defend the sovereignty and territory of New Zealand and our lines of communication, but demands for our capabilities are changing. We face a growing need to be more resilient across our large maritime nation.

In recent years, however, those calling for deeper relations between the four great nations have grown louder. The reason is simple: the four countries share a common language, similar legal and political systems, and even have a single Head of State. Above all, despite being ethnically diverse and culturally vibrant, the CANZUK nations share a common outlook and set of values.
