New Zealand and Fiji have signed a renewed five-year Duavata Partnership, setting out cooperation priorities for 2026 to 2030 across trade, security, democracy, social development, and climate resilience.
Key Areas of Cooperation
The agreement renews an earlier 2022-2025 framework and reaffirms both countries’ goal of lifting two-way trade to NZ$2 billion ($1.17 billion) by 2030. It also deepens cooperation on policing, border and maritime security, defence ties, renewable energy, disaster preparedness, and support for the Pacific as an “Ocean of Peace”.
New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters said the ministers also discussed New Zealand’s interest in exploratory discussions with Fiji and Australia on the Ocean of Peace Alliance.
