    Building Europe-New Zealand links
    in New Zealand International Review , January 2012 ,  2012
    Since the last visit to New Zealand by a European Commission president 30 years ago, the world has been transformed. The old division in the geo-political order between developed and developing nations has faded. Today there are multiple poles of economic influence. Sharing values with like-minded countries will be increasingly important. Commonality of basic principles and long-term objectives will carry more weight in foreign policy than geographical proximity. In this context, New Zealand and the European Union have a close and enduring relationship, based on the Joint Declaration of 2007. They have convergent interests in many areas, most notably Afghanistan.
