The acting United States Ambassador to New Zealand says the current situation in Afgahnistan is "not how we wanted this to end".

Twenty years on from the 9/11 attacks that led to the War on Terror, the central Asian nation invaded by US-led forces in 2001 is back under Taliban rule. The Islamic fundamentalist group was deposed in 2001 after it refused to hand over al-Qaeda leaders based in Afghanistan who plotted the attacks.

For the first time since the Anzac-class frigate program commenced in the 1980s, the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) are simultaneously undertaking a comprehensive fleet recapitalisation. By the mid-2030s, the RNZN and RAN are both due to replace their current surface warfare, patrol, sealift, hydrographic, and mine countermeasures vessels. This presents a unique opportunity to reinvigorate and strengthen the trans-Tasman relationship by pursuing a coordinated and consolidated approach to maritime capability acquisition that would enhance interoperability and reinforce a sense of shared purpose and direction between the allies.
