Plan of Action to Implement the ASEAN-New Zealand Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (2026-2030)

Building on the strong history of cooperation between ASEAN and New Zealand since 1975 and the successful implementation of the Plan of Action (POA) 2021-2025, this POA serves to realise the goals and objectives of the ASEAN-New Zealand Leaders' Joint Vision Statement on the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN-New Zealand Dialogue Relations for a meaningful, substantive and mutually beneficial ASEAN-New Zealand Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, with a focus on areas where ASEAN and New Zealand have expertise and mutual interests, including by reflecting the unique character and nature of this long-standing partnership. This POA will also contribute to the promotion of ASEAN Community building as well as the efforts to realise the ASEAN 2045: Our Shared Future and its Strategic Plans through the four pillars of Peace, Prosperity, People and Planet.

This POA calls for strengthening existing ASEAN-New Zealand mechanisms by improving coordination, monitoring, and review processes, as appropriate, to ensure the effective and timely implementation of its action lines.
