| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY of the establishment of diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Russia is a chance for us to reflect together on the history of our bilateral relationship to date, and on how this relationship might develop further in our rapidly changing world. Our diplomatic relationship was established at a time when war was raging in Europe and threatening the global community. New Zealand was among the first countries to declare war on Nazi Germany. Our commitment to the war effort in Europe was in no way limited by our geographical distance. Approximately 140,000 New Zealanders - nearly nine percent of our total population at the time - served in the war. |
