2020年，在新冠肺炎疫情背景下，新西兰经济萧条，但应对疫情的政策较为成功。同时，2020年是新西兰的选举年，抗疫成效显著为阿德恩领导的工党在大选中取得压倒性胜利奠定了基础。新工党政府在内政外交上将具有更大的决定权。此外，经济的恢复、房价、环保、反恐和控枪等问题是其国内政治的重要议题。在外交方面，新西兰在国际层面保持对多边主义和以规则为基础的国际体系的热忱，进一步增强了其在太平洋地区的影响力，与主要大国的关系呈现出经济议题、安全议题和价值观议题多元发展的趋势。
In 2020，New Zealand suffered economic slump when the COVID-19 pandemic affects all parts of the world. However，New Zealand’s government had a successful response to the pandemic，which played a crucial role in the landslide victory of the Labour Party，led by Jacinda Ardern，in this year’s election. The new Labour-led government will have more control in deciding domestic and foreign affairs. Besides，issues like economic recovery，environment protection，housing，and counterterrorism and gun control dominated New Zealand’s politics. In terms of foreign affairs，New Zealand has been promoting multilateralism and the rule-based international order. New Zealand has enhanced its presence in the Pacific. New Zealand’s relationships with major powers have shown the trend that integrates economic issues，security issues and value issues.
