AUKUS ‘very good’ for ‘regional security and stability’: New Zealand Prime Minister

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon believes AUKUS is “very good” for “regional security and stability” and the broader Pacific region. “The first thing I would say is I think AUKUS is actually very good for regional security and stability,” Mr Luxon told Sky News host Erin Molan. “I think that’s a good thing for the broader Pacific region. “We, as I said, are very open to exploring New Zealand’s involvement in what’s called Pillar Two of AUKUS. “Again, it’s been somewhat undefined – it’s only in recent weeks that the pathway for a conversation has really been able to be opened up.”
