37105 (2026). Hon Damien O'Connor to the Minister of Defence: When is the next scheduled or anticipated opportunity, if any, for New Zealand defence companies to present their capabilities directly to the Governments of Japan and Australia at an event attended at ministerial level; and what steps, if any, is the Government taking to secure New Zealand's participation in any such opportunity?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I refer the Member to reply 36956 (2026) which states a future trilateral meeting will be considered at the next appropriate opportunity.
