Bilateral relations have been good since World War I and World War II, with both countries working extremely closely during either conflicts, but the relationship was severely jeopardised by the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland on 10 July 1985 by French Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE) agents.Relations between the two nations had been strained earlier.On June 25, 1973, the New Zealand government suspended for a time postal relations with France.New Zealand was put under fierce economic strain by France following the attack with French Government demanding the agents who carried out the attack to be released by the New Zealand government. Since then there has been some animosity among New Zealanders towards the French, but since the 20th anniversary of the bombing in 2005, there were signs that New Zealand had begun to warm to the French.The New Zealand Prime Minister’s official visit to France in 2003 opened a new chapter in bilateral relations, moving on from the past and focussing in rekindling both countries’ ties, particularly in the South Pacific. With the notable exception of the transport of nuclear material, major political objectives are being worked-towards within the South Pacific.
