This paper discusses the relationship between New Zealand and the Pacific Islands countries. The close relationship between New Zealand and her pacific partners is found not only in the high population proportion of Islanders in New Zealand. A series of political crisis occurred in the Pacific Islands after the late 1990s has contributed to closer development. In order to integrate the Pacific regime for their mutual and communal interest, ”the South Pacific Forum” was changed into ”the Pacific Islands Forum” in 2000, and ”the Pacific Plan” was initiated in 2003. New Zealand's Prime Minister, Helen Clark, has played an important role in these developments. This paper argues that New Zealand's efforts to these developments in recent years, is to ensure terrorism away from the Pacific Regime, and to ensure New Zealand's and Australia's leading roles in the Pacific Region's economic development.
