New Zealand - United States relations
...
New Zealand – United States relations refers to international relations between New Zealand and the United States of America. New Zealand is a friend, but not an ally of the United States. Nonetheless, New Zealand has maintained "excellent" relations with the United States[1] on a broad number of international issues. President Obama reiterated this in 2009, saying that New Zealand and the United States had a very strong relationship and he wanted that relationship to be even better. [2]
Both the United States and New Zealand share some common ancestry and history (see British Empire), having both been British colonies. Both countries had native peoples who were dispossessed of their land by the process of colonisation. Both have been part of the Western alliance of nations in various wars. There are numerous other similarities between the two countries.
