| Summary/Abstract |
New Zealand faces a challenging situation in a world of giants. National self-preservation must be the ultimate goal. We must ensure our security and stability in an increasingly uncertain international environment. New Zealand must look to its relationships with our traditional allies and give priority to the South Pacific. New Zealand needs to play a deft hand, and to do so it must have the requisite resources, especially of diplomats. New Zealand must have an effective, professional and well-resourced foreign service to protect New Zealand's interests. It needs to have people with the training, the experience, the judgment and the intellectual capacity to handle very complex and fluid situations.
