This situation. which contrasts with the unrestricted reciprocal freedom of entry recently agreed upon by the new governments in this country and Australla. cannot give my Government any satisfaction. We propose. at an appropriate time. to raise the matter again with the British Government. Our wish to maintain and extend freedom of movement between New Zealand and other countries will find expression in other ways. Our immigration policy is being reviewed. and it is our objective to conclude reciprocal immigration agreements with countries which wish to do so. including Asian countries. Although not exceptionally endowed with natural resources. apart from its climate. New Zealand has achieved a standard of prosperity for its people which marks it in comparative terms as a developed rather than a developing country.
