サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Gerry Brownlee has served as a Senior Cabinet Minister most noticeably for his work as the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Minister soon after a devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch on September 4, 2010.
His role expanded following 22 February 2011 when a 6.3 magnitude quake hit the city, killing 185 people and resulting in widespread residential and commercial property destruction. The earthquakes, and subsequent rebuild of New Zealand's second-largest city, are the country's costliest event.
Gerry Brownlee has represented New Zealand as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and as Minister of Defence.
We discussed the long-standing friendship and partnership between our two countries; Afghanistan; challenges facing sister democracies in the Pacific; the rise of China and how we can move forward together.
New Zealand is a fascinating country with a strong streak of independence, yet they are always at America's side. True friends.
