| Summary/Abstract |
The principles of partnership and mutual respect embodied in the Treaty of Waitangi provide the essential foundation for how New Zealand conducts its foreign policy today. Its approach is values-based and aims to work collectively in pursuit of our core interests. These include: defending an international rules-based order which gives all countries a voice and provides frameworks that promote stability; keeping New Zealanders safe by promoting regional stability; promoting and nurturing international conditions and connections that aid our prosperity, including supply chain resilience; and encouraging global action on sustainability issues such as climate change where solutions depend on international co-operation.

| Summary/Abstract |
In attempting to foresee the future development of the international system, it is impossible to ignore the salience of the United States and its determination to retain the multiple post-Second World War privileges that accrued to it as the world's sole super-power. The future will be determined by the outcome of its struggle to maintain that privileged position in the face of the resistance to its unique dominance offered by a resurgent China and its ever-closer ally Russia. This destructive confrontation threatens to bring the danger of nuclear warfare to the fore and the continued survival of the global civilisation into question.

| Summary/Abstract |
Growing internet proliferation, data production and geopolitical competition in the Pacific region are increasing the vulnerability of Pacific Islands nations to foreign interference methodologies. Although no solution can completely eradicate the threat of foreign interference, reinforcing a nation's democratic institutions can make it a harder target to manipulate, and bolster its democracy. The relationship between data exploitation, foreign interference and national security; data privacy and protection legislation; possible changes to New Zealand's regional development outlook - all are matters of current concern. A wave of new data protection and privacy legislation is sweeping the globe, and the Pacific cannot be left behind.

Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons,
|
| Summary/Abstract |
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons came into effect on 22 January, following the deposit of the fiftieth ratification in October 2020. This important milepost on the road to nuclear disarmament was a moment for celebration, for reflection and, above all, for hope. For those countries who join the treaty, nuclear weapons are from now on - in all contexts and for all purposes - illegal as a matter of international law. The treaty has, therefore, closed what was often referred to as the 'legal gap' on nuclear weapons: it has given us the legal framing for a nuclear weapon-free world.

| Summary/Abstract |
For a country on track to have the world's largest population by 2030 and one of the world's largest economies by 2050, there is no doubt that India will be consequential for New Zealand. Even if the trade relationship is put aside, India matters. It is also true that the relationship is set to become more complicated, as India grows and seeks to put its own mark on world affairs. But differences aside, India and New Zealand are clearly of strategic value to each other: in the Indian Ocean region, in the Pacific, in the Quad and as members of the wider Indo-Pacific region where many of India's values and interests directly align with New Zealand's.

| Summary/Abstract |
NASA's plan to return to the Moon is probably familiar to most. Former US President Donald Trump set a very ambitious goal: to have American women and men stepping on the Moon by 2024. Many consider that an unrealistically short timescale. But international competition to go back to the Moon is fierce. It is not just the United States and China competing to send humans there again. Many other countries have plans, not just giants like Russia, India or the European Union. Japan, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, the United Kingdom, Turkey and even tiny Luxemburg also have plans.
