South Korea – New Zealand Diplomatic Relations

Korea and New Zealand have maintained diplomatic relations since March 1962, a bond deepened by New Zealand's participation in the Korean War. Both countries are liberal democracies that share commitments to free trade and multilateralism. The Korea-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, in force since December 2015, has been a cornerstone of the economic relationship. New Zealand is also one of Korea's key working holiday partners, with thousands of young Koreans heading there each year.

Korea runs a trade surplus. Two-way investment is also significant: Korean companies have invested $550 million in New Zealand, while New Zealand investment in Korea stands at $203 million.
