New Zealand is significantly increasing its military presence in the Korean Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) by sending up to 41 additional personnel, joining the 12 already stationed there. The extended deployment, now set until September 2026, highlights New Zealand’s commitment to collective security and peace in the Indo-Pacific region.
NZDF troops will collaborate with forces from several nations, including the US, Australia, and the Republic of Korea, to support stability and the international rules-based system on the Korean Peninsula.
