Defence Minister Peeni Henare says the new Aukus defence pact is not cause for him to re-evaluate the Government's direction in defence spending, which he has said may be pushed into the future due to Covid-19.
The Aukus pact announced by Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States last week, will have New Zealand’s only formal defence ally, Australia, purchase at least six nuclear-powered submarines and a raft of long-range missiles in the coming decades, in an effort to counter China’s rising power in the Indo-Pacific region.

France should not have been surprised that Australia cancelled a submarine contract, as major concerns about delays, cost overruns and suitability had been aired officially and publicly for years, Australian politicians said.
Paris has recalled its ambassadors from Canberra and Washington, saying it was blindsided by Canberra's decision to build nuclear-powered submarines with the United States and Britain rather than stick with its contract for French diesel submarines.

Over the past two years, China has punished Canada and Australia for actions that the Chinese deem objectionable - and in response, both countries have faced unjust detentions of their citizens and sudden, harsh trade barriers.
Yet these two members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance — which also includes the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand — have responded differently. That's evident in the recent launch of the Australia/U.K./U.S. security pact called AUKUS, from which Canada is conspicuously absent.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the new security pact involving Australia, the United States and Britain would not change New Zealand's security arrangement with the three countries.
New Zealand has been left out of the new tripartite security pact among traditional friends, which is aimed at focusing efforts to respond to China's rapid military expansion in the Asia Pacific.
