New Zealand has joined the US-led Partnership for Indo-Pacific Industrial Resilience, a 13-country initiative to boost defence supply chains and industrial collaboration. Defence Minister Judith Collins described it as a “discussion forum” addressing global disruptions caused by war and pandemics. The group’s work includes weapons co-production and repair capabilities. Officials said the partnership aligns with New Zealand’s strategic goals to mitigate supply chain risks and enhance defence readiness.
