 WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - New Zealand and the United States, who have long differed over the South Pacific nation's anti-nuclear policy, have agreed to strengthen their relationship, Foreign Minister Winston Peters said Thursday.
"We committed ourselves to a forward-looking relationship as two countries and to strengthening that relationship in the future," Peters said after meeting in Washington with Secretary State Condoleezza Rice.
Relations between the two countries were convulsed in 1985 when New Zealand banned nuclear arms and nuclear-powered ships from its territory and waters.
