13943 (2026). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: What action, if any, did the Minister or MFAT take following the July 2025 market report warning of Strait of Hormuz closure risks to ensure other relevant agencies incorporated this risk into their planning?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade's policy includes a core focus on building resilience through implementing, enforcing, and expanding our existing network of Free Trade Agreements. Ultimately, a flexible, diversified, and productive economy will be more resilient to a wide range of risks, including this specific risk.
