Relationship context
Overview
New Zealand has repeatedly supported United Nations resolutions calling for an end to the United States embargo on Cuba. Information about Cuba’s government conduct specifically toward New Zealand is insufficient to assess that part of the relationship.
Major uncertainties
- Details of Cuba’s government cooperation with New Zealand are limited.
- The scope of practical bilateral cooperation beyond New Zealand’s position on the U.S. embargo is unclear.
