The country will extend support to non‑military workstreams and contribute up to NZ$4m over the next three years.
The New Zealand Government has extended additional support for the next phase of the Global Coalition to Defeat Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (D-ISIS).
The move was announced by New Zealand Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta and Defence Minister Peeni Henare in a statement.
It comes just days after the US military carried out precision airstrikes against Iran-backed militants in Syria.
The contribution includes a one-year extension of the previous deployment of the New Zealand military’s two Coalition Headquarters personnel in Iraq and Kuwait.
The New Zealand Government first deployed its personnel under the Defeat-ISIS Coalition in 2015. Later in 2020, it was extended until June 2022.
