Cuba and New Zealand: a relationship worthy of strengthening

Cuba and Aotearoa New Zealand have some similarities as small island nations (in different hemispheres) and with small populations (over 11,000 and 5,000 respectively).

On the other hand, geographically they are far apart and with different political, economic and cultural histories.

The dynamic of the Cuban Revolution (including its earlier revolutionary movements) is central to these differing histories along with different colonial experiences.
