Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has promised to stand with Britain, regardless of how the Brexit saga plays out.
In an opinion piece published by UK publication The Daily Telegraph, Ardern asserts that the ties between New Zealand and the UK remain close.
"Whatever you decide about your place in the global community, New Zealand is committed to making our excellent relations even closer, and to ensuring that the links between our people continue to flourish," Ardern says.
"We've already built strong connections with each other. In a world of uncertainty and change, now is the time to make them even stronger."
In the piece, Ardern starts by laying out her personal relationship with the UK, saying that she lived in London in the mid-2000s, working as a civil servant.
