British India and New Zealand have had a shared connection dating back to the eighteenth century, when Indian sailors visited on-board ships from the British East India Company. These bonds were strengthened during World War Two when New Zealand forces fought alongside their Indian counterparts in campaigns across Northern Africa and Italy. Presently the successors India & Pakistan and New Zealand share a common historical connection with the British Empire and have cordial and friendly relations rooted in the linkages of Commonwealth, parliamentary democracy and the English language.
