Postwar Reconciliation & Antarctic Science
战后和解与南极科考合作
Decades after the Pacific War, New Zealand and Japan built a deep postwar relationship: in Antarctic science, teams from the Ross Dependency have long exchanged expertise with Japan's polar research institute; Christchurch and Kurashiki in Okayama Prefecture became sister cities in 1973, the oldest such civic bond between the two countries.
太平洋战争后，新西兰与日本历经数十年建立起深厚的战后关系：南极科考领域，罗斯属地（Ross Dependency）研究团队与日本极地研究所长期开展经验交流；克赖斯特彻奇与冈山县仓敷市自1973年结为姊妹城市，是两国历史最悠久的城市友好关系。
Deep-sea fishing agreements, timber trade and the APEC framework have further cemented the bilateral economic partnership; the full map of the sister-city network appears in the ‘City Diplomacy’ entry of the Cross-Cutting Bonds pavilion.
