NEW YORK, United States (MNTV) – New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden have called for the safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, while reaffirming their support for international law and a two-state solution.
The foreign ministers met in Stockholm, where New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters said the group welcomed the Gaza ceasefire deal.
“We very much welcome the agreement on the first phase of the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict put forward by President Trump and call on all parties to fully implement the agreement without delay,” the ministers said in a joint statement.
They reaffirmed their “unwavering support” for the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, and backed reforms under the UN80 initiative to strengthen global governance.
The ministers also pledged to enhance cooperation in trade, innovation, aquaculture and polar research ahead of the 2032–33 International Polar Year, and reaffirmed support for Pacific priorities under the 2050 Blue Pacific Strategy.
