New Zealand to increase defense spending to 2% of GDP, adding $5.85 billion, amid US pressure.
New Zealand plans to boost its defense budget to 2% of GDP, an increase of $5.85 billion, aiming to enhance military capabilities and interoperability with allies like Australia.
The target comes amid pressure from the US for increased defense spending in the Indo-Pacific.
However, Labour leader Chris Hipkins advocates for a focus on necessary capabilities rather than an arbitrary spending target.
The plan includes a 15-year Defence Capability Plan to outline future equipment needs.
